“Easy” Pace needs some PR.

The term “Easy” pace refers to a pace and speed that is typically 1-2 min slower than your race pace.

It’s the pace that SHOULD make up most of your miles in training.

But does it?

Most of my clients love the concept of “easy” pace but hate the term.

It’s honestly never sat well with me either. Your working and building and thinking of telling your friends you just had a great “easy” run makes their eyes roll.

It’s because of this I began using the term “foundation” pace. It better reflects the concept and theory, while also not down playing the effort.

“Foundation” pace should make up the bulk of your training and your spicy speed/strength runs make up a smaller but very important part.

What do you think of my rebranding of Easy” pace to “foundation” pace?
