I run all my runs faster than the last one. So for me there is no easy run.

Early season or off season, run your easy runs as fast as you want. It’s only when you’re in heavy training or doing a lot of workouts that you should really slow those easy runs down.
You'd better stick with the stone age and run by feel.

This.
Structured training is still new to me, went from base running at HM + 30-50 seconds and transitioned to a HM plan keeping the same logic while adding speed workouts and got hurt within 2 weeks.

But if we do that, life will be meaningless and empty.
Galloway has the RWR program but he also has random 26-30 mile long-runs in his plans too. It's like a mix of ultrarunning and the RWR hobbyjogger c25k stuff.
But he could be getting the super-slow 26-30 mile runs from the Japanese (Does he have the Hodgie-san influence there)?

Just think how much better Rodgers, Shorter, and others of that era would have been if they had had all these high tech gadgets.
