No bloody idea but when you find out can you tell me?
My plan says that I need to keep long runs entirely aerobic, 5 or 6 weeks ago I could just about do this under 5 min kms, but increasing volumes (gone from 60k per week up to 85k ish) and a bit of a sniffle, means that this is now more like 5:15 min kms but I know I can run at the faster pace, so trying to reel my ego in and run slower to get the benefit and avoid injury as volume ramps up takes a monumental effort..
It involves starting slow and staying way under target heart rate for quite a lot of the run and hen accepting in the last few kms I’m going to be a bit over of I hold the pace steady.

I run with a HRM and make sure I stay below a certain level. Seems to be the only thing that’ll keep me really slow!

If you haven’t already. Run without music. You’ll spend a lot more time listening to your breathing and it will regulate better because you can hear it

Any tips for keeping a nice slow pace for those long aerobic runs? Seems a bit of a silly question but all too often find my self just pushing myself a little faster and suddenly Kms gone and the breathing is a fair bit harder! Really trying to build a solid base layer of fitness but too tempting to gun it harder.
More self discipline perhaps?
On the plus side some lovely miles today down the canal to lime house, the tow path by Victoria park was even semi tolerable!!
