I want to expand on this, most people seriously underestimate how slowly they need to be running when they first start out. Also words like “slow” and “easy” are relative and can be hard to define from one runner to the next.
Think of it as “conversational pace,” meaning that you are running so slowly that you can control your breathing well enough to speak in complete sentences while you’re moving.
Whether you are a beginning runner or someone who has been doing it for years, your easy pace should always be conversational. As you gain more fitness, your conversational pace will get faster. As a beginner, all of your runs should be at conversational pace.
Run slower than you think you should
