Larry that is exactly the pace I was stuck at for a long time, and it was driving me nuts. I finally said enough is enough and time to let all inhibitions go and break beyond a 8:30 pace, glad I did.



An 8:30 is still my average comfortable pace, but it's good to know that I can run faster than that if I want to.

I am looking for other ways besides form to increase efficiency so I would be interested in the breathing stuff and also anything anyone else has for increasing cardiovascular efficiency.
