"People ask why I run. I say, 'If you have to ask, you will never understand'. It is something only those select few know. Those who put themselves through pain, but know, deep down, how good it really feels." - Erin Leonard
To qualify: I don't really run for pace, I'm just working on trying to build up my mileage.
The question is, when I figure my pace, is it customary to include the time waiting for traffic since technically it is a rest and it takes place in the middle of my run, or should I subtract the time stopped at lights before I calculate my pace, since it was an involuntary stop? I'm sure there's no science to this, I'm just curious what you all think is the more accurate way of gauging pace.
