Running slow
Eeek! Training slower definitely does make you slower. Again went for a burn of a run with my partner last night - same 2.9 mile route as last week.

We ran it at a pace that really had my breathing hard and I was definitely starting to suffer towards the end ... and looking back over my training log, I discovered that this was a pace I previously found "comfortable" - my fastest time over that route is over a minute quicker than last night. I'm quite disheartened by this as I'm not sure I could manage my previous speed now.

All my runs up to around August time were between 8:00 and 8:30 minute miles and I described some of them as quite comfortable, even the fast ones. I could often get around 7:45 pace.

I don't want to sacrifice my speed for endurance - I want both! Are they really mutually exclusive for us non-elites?
