November 6th- Easy Run

Easy Run

Today’s easy run session for all abilities. Every runner needs weekly miles during the week that are comfortable and fun. Today’s run is called an easy run for a reason. Run it 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 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.
