Today’s easy run session for all abilities. Every runner should be getting sessions in during the week that are comfortable and fun. Today’s run is called an easy run for a reason. It should be done at an easy, conversational pace. Typically, this is 90 seconds to 2 minutes slower per mile than 5k pace. No matter where you are as a runner, this is a staple of your running plan. By building up consistency and your weekly miles, you will continue to develop as a runner. Aim for between 3 and 6 miles for today’s session.
COACHING TIP: Easy runs are a perfect time to focus on good form. Running tall, with relaxed shoulders and your chest out. This enables a runner to run more efficiently and to help with breathing. Every little thing you can do to make running easier will be beneficial.
