Hi Ed!
This morning I woke up with a happy smile on my face, cause it's officially the first day of running your program. I looked through window, and there was 30cm of snow, and it was still falling, which is really rear for our region. I quickly dressed up, decided to wear my trail running shoes, and ran 1h in through the deep snow. I covered only 10.6km, but the feeling was great.
Now, I have a question...
There are easy days (30 minutes running) which I guess should be at "conversational pace". But what about easy distance and time on feet runs? Should they also be run at comfortable pace, or should I aim for something faster? For example, I'm running conversational pace at 5:30 min/km, but I also feel totally relaxed when running 5:05-5:10, only difference is I'm talking a bit harder..
