thank you. In a million years I never think take it steady. I am always thinking I am not going fast enough.

It may seem counterintuitive but your best aerobic development will come by running at a conversational pace!Anything more is simply too fast !

Yes when you have been running for a while and you have that good base fitness you may want to pick the pace up on some runs , not all though .

Even elite athletes will do around 80% of their runs slowly.

Believe it or not , Running slowly makes faster runners!

it seems crazy. So I put my my running machine at level 2 and a speed of 4.6 to run so im hoping that’s right.
