I don't fight this. My easy days are supposed to be easy pace, so that's what I do. if I run too hard on my easy day, I can't run my quality days at the level that I want or need to. <br /><br />I use my garmin more often on my "slow" days than some of my fast days to be sure to run slow. but when I get into higher mileage, I don't have to monitor my slow days as much because my body automatically slows down. <br /><br />so, for me, I would say what you are describing is totally normal. run easy and enjoy it !Happy Feet 26.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07319635538117315117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-69103728553291325122012-10-20T16:11:33.467-05:002012-10-20T16:11:33.467-05:00I would just go by the effort gauge...or a heart r...I would just go by the effort gauge...or a heart rate monitor. Pushing your body harder than feels 'right' is an easy way to overtrain or get hurt :( I hope your race goes wonderfully! No race for me...lots of running reassessment at the moment :)a runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13338982220048136690noreply@blogger.com
