Let's say I have to run 10 miles at 7:00 per mile pace, is it better if I run 10 x 1 mile at 6:50 per mile pace or faster with 1 minute recovery?

Look into Igloi training.
if your training for a marathon then no.
There is something called tempo intervals?
No way.
Go for a run in the city hitting sone traffic lights. Will be easier and prob on avg little faster (not including rest time) than hitting the country road with no stops.

The correct name is cruise intervals.
nope, dont take recovery.
Those are 2 different workouts that serve 2 different purposes.
If you can run 10 miles in 7:00 as a normal long run, I can't see how 10 x 1 mile will remotely leave a dent on you so it's a useless workout in the intensity spectrum.
If you mean as a tempo effort then it's different but a 70 minute tempo is something I wouldn't recommend to an amateur runner.
yup correct

If you can do that workout with 0 minute recovery then you definitely will be able to run 10 miles at, or even under, 7:00 pace.

Nope, not a good idea.

it's good for general fitness but not gonna take you far in running.
terrible.
the "experts" should explain why one workout is better than the other and what would be the benefits or lack thereof of each. Otherwise this thread is useless.

correct.
Sounds a lot like Tinman’s critical velocity. He recs 200m jog every 1k, so take 300m jog every 1 mile.
This is def more volume that a typical CV session, tho... not nec a bad thing...

What about standing recovery?
standing recovery is not beneficial unless its an intense pace.
if 7:00 is an easy pace no, if its marathon pace then yes.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
