The main takeaways from Matt Fitzgerald's 80:20 running book are:
- You should do 80% of your running nice and slowly, and only 20% "fast"
- It's possible to string that single idea out into 200+ tortuous pages
- It's still quite motivational, given the choice of reading more of the book or going for a long slow run I'll go for a long slow run.
[EDIT] Happy to post the book on when I'm done with it, it's not one that needs to be kept as a reference

time or distance?

Greenbank in reply to @dst2

time (from what I can gather, it's one of the things he doesn't state simply)

In practice either will work, taking some random paces:-

4 hours at 7min/km = 34.29km
1 hour at 5min/km = 12km

34.29/46.29 = 74% which is close enough
