Have a look at this runnersworld.co.uk/general/...
There is a lot to be gleaned from this page and the calculator. Well worth bookmarking.
Thank you so much!

Think of it as 'comfortably hard'. As IannodaTruffe recommends the paces kicked out by the calculator are great - pay particular attention to how slow the long run should be. Good luck with whichever way you choose to get there. There is also a bridge to 10k forum you may want to check out

The simple answer is it's a pace you can only just maintain for twenty minutes. 5 minutes warm-up and the same cool-down makes it a 30 minute workout. It's a great way to get a buzz!
