@aachen_hexagon My first love is CrossFit, but my true love is ultra marathoning. These are two different events, requiring two different approaches to maximize benefits and success. If you can't hold a conversation and comfortably breathe through your nose then you are doing it wrong (this is not to say that there's no benefit to pace runs because they do serve a purpose). Just because you can do something faster doesn't mean you always should. What is your average pace per mile? My guess is you need to slow down (and go farther). Running a marathon or 100 miles is exactly like CrossFit but in the exact opposite way. Enjoy the sport for what it is.
