Slow 8:30's !

They say "to run fast, you must train fast". They also say that "to race fast, you must learn to run slow". Confused ? I certainly was, but I've come to understand this a bit better with time.
This basicly means your speedwork must be consistant and fast and your recovery runs must be slow. This being a recovery day, I'm going to practice running slow. We'll see. I'm normally not too good at this, meaning I have a tendancy to run a the same pace long runs, easy runs and recovery runs.
