Molly Seidel's training breakdown vs Daniels approach

Some coaches will consider steady ~70-75% of Vo2 max. So sub threshold (Marathon ~80-83% for most, higher for top level marathoners), but quicker than recovery/easy pace (50-65%). This 70% range is typically recommended for moderate and long runs unless you're doing some marathon specific training.

Every coach has there own definition. Some use it for threshold runs. For many it is like 30-60s slower than MP. So for molly we would have something like

5:25 mp

5:50-6:30 steady

7-8 easy

With the standard hand waving about weather , altitude, terrains, and how tired you are. Sort of the pace you run when not taking it easy or pushing it. Probably the pace most HS call easy😁

Thanks for the responses
