Currently that is not too slowly and as an athlete returning caution is the best approach
a further tip regarding things for the future
when doing the 3 week cycle, the first 10 days are intense and on those days the recovery runs should aid recovery so taking things easy has its merits, by the weekend of the 2nd week you could probably increase your easy run pulse by 10 to 15 bpm
with time and development we focus more on the tempo runs however that is probably when you training towards the sub 36 minute 10k program
and with further progress you add am runs which is a total recovery run such as what you have mentioned
so as can be seen there is a great deal more to the 10k programs which will allow you to race 21k etc with time
See, I got carried away with feedback
