I will start by saying I'm not the fastest runner out there. I usually average 8:30-9:00 pace on my runs, sometimes 8:00 pace for short distances, but decided to start running slower . I have to admit running at 9:30 or 10 pace is very strange right now, my body is not used to it and I need to put in some work to adapt. I feel my leg muscles work harder when running slower, I know my form is good, but yet it seems more demanding.
Am I turning to the dark side of the Maffetone? it looks like it. Call it getting older, 3 young kids, and always tired. Yes I'm throwing out the excuses But seriously I think I want to see what happens as I start to run slower. I took a run this morning, no clue what pace I was at I don't wear a garmin for short runs, but I do know it was slower than usual, but yet challenging on the body.
