I spend most of my time at 6:15/km. At first it feels like you’re walking but after about two weeks your tempo run will be a breeze and you will notice a change in how you run.
It truly is a game changer, for me anyway, just takes dedication to keep slow. Listening to podcasts not music helped me a lot. Now it’s just my settled in pace.

Yeah I mostly do this too. I think it can work really well, especially if you have other activity you do (gym, commuting) because otherwise you find yourself getting wiped really easy.
I run with HR but after a while of doing it you start to notice your breathing habits at various levels ie, able to breathe only through nose, able to breathe in through nose and out through mouth, able to whistle a little tune to yourself etc.
Only issue with it is sometimes I struggle to find the time for as many long slow runs as I would like

Pace I could do all day sounds like a good measure. I’m getting into varying my pace and doing more slower runs. I used to just try and run each time faster and faster and, surprise surprise, I got injured all the time.
