Easy is a feeling, not a pace.

Yup, easy running is not a set pace. More like a ball park area, and thats also extremely conditional too. If you did a tough workout or race recently your easy pace would feel more challenging. If you haven't done a workout lately or race, your easy pace would feel way too slow. It's all conditional, which is why it's more of a range than an exact pace. I'd suggest to go by feel first, then occasionally check your HR to ensure your perceived effort is in check with your physiological effort. Use the HRM as a tool, not a complete crutch in all your training. If you're not sure whats easy HR for you, plug your info into one of the 100s of calculators in Google.
Probably about 9:30.
But as others have said, do the worry about the time. Just go out and enjoy the run.
I'm not going to look at your race times. Easy run should be a workout that after a one minute recovery your heart rate is 115 or lower, and after two minutes that should drop at least another 10 beats. And the next morning you should be at your lowest resting heart rate.

Huh??? It's one thing not to look at his race times, it's another not to read his post. He claims he's 13! 115 bpm is like a coma for him.
lol ikr
It can be any pace as long as it FEELS easy. Ive run an 18 min 5k and most off my base training leading up to it was easy runs at 9:00- 10:00 min pace. I believe it's not really about the pace, it's just about logging miles after miles. And if it even feels like your pushing the pace a little then slow down, trust the process.

Ah! Very astute grasshopper!
Now allow the lad may respond himself, or, perhaps you should pose the question to him about what his resting heart rate is, or if he has any heart rate data from his workouts.
If he is interested I'm sure he will ask me for more detail.
