Don't break this model

I got out mid morning and ran for 75 minutes. It was all super slow stuff. It's been warm this past weekend but it was maybe mid 60's while I was out there today. I was channeling Van Aaken so I not only ran slow but also threw in a couple of walking breaks.

It is hard for me to run slow (even after all of this time practicing it) but I know that over the long haul, I will feel much better for it. The faster runs come from my foundation of super slow runs, taking whole days off and only adding judicious amounts of tempo work. When I break this model, I break myself.
