In another back to back effort, I went out this morning and ran 80 minutes as slow as I could. To really keep it easy I threw in one minute walks every 5 minutes for the first hour and then ran steadily in after that. It was pure Galloway.
The key seems to be running very slowly, almost drifting and at times on the verge of walking. I don't time myself per mile but my best guess is that my effort is in the 10-11 minutes per mile range. If I am right then the time on your feet is important, not the pace. I had a great 1983 often going out for secret 8-9 milers at an 8 pace and slower. An 8 minute pace back then is roughly a 10 pace now.
