that's kind of the reason why I'm thinking about it because running on fresh legs it's actually quite hard sometimes to drop the pace down to what my program is asking for (9:30 -> 10:10 min/mile pace) so while I might manage it for 75% of the run, the pace might keep creeping up without me realising so I've been wondering what impact that would have on what's coming out of the session.
by and large i'm not too worried as it's still a decent amount of training effort regardless and going into the bulkier parts of the plan i'll be much more fatigued on the easy days so I'll be much more likely to be running at those prescribed paces through necessity.
that and my HR seems to stay pretty low across the run so I don't think I'm pushing myself hard enough that I'm going very far outside the intended training zone.
