6:45-7:00 per mile on easy days. Heart rate around 120-125 on those runs.

8:40... that seems like a walk with someone running a low 17 minute 5k

Most easy days probably start at 745-8 pace and get down to around 7 minute pace or just below. Easy secondary runs can sometimes be as slow as 8:30 pace. No planned pace for easy runs, I don't think there is any great benefit from running 630 pace on easy days vs. 7:45 pace. Only difference is you don't recover as well, and you can't run as much volume.

Mile: 5:46
5k: 20:39

One 5k race each week at approximately 7:00 / mile
One quality 4-mile hilly tempo each week at about 7:45/ mile
Other gentle runs typically about 10:00 / mile

I have just returned from six weeks off from a stress fracture so I am currently running about a minute per mile slower than my typical speeds listed above.

7:30's average or so if I'm around 80ish per week, probably down to about 6:50-7:00 by the end of most runs

back when I ran 14:15 for 5k, easy days were 6-6:30 pace.

later when I got old and ran 2:29 for the marathon, it got up to around 7 min pace plus or minus 10 seconds.

I never go slower than 6:00 minute pace on recovery days. If you're going any slower, you're just putting in junk miles. Remember, long slow distance runs make long slow distance runners.

I usually leave my watch at home and go on whatever pace feels right for recovery day, nice and relaxed. I would estimate 7:30, 7:45

5K is 19:15
10M is 65:31

Easy runs are usually 7:40-8:10 pace. Will go slower if I feel like it. I actually do true recovery runs as pool-running.

I'm actually kind of similar to pace guy.

15:17 5K
1:12 HM

Normal mileage is 8:00 to 8:45. I'll include one longish threshold run (at appropriate Daniels pace) and one interval workout each week.

I just prefer running my mileage slow.
