2:10:47 @ NYC almost feels like underperforming compared to that 40k @ 5500 feet @ 5:08/mile. Feel like he can go a lot faster. Lots of easy stuff in peak weeks @ 9min pace. Very interesting.

Just curious. I follow a lot of pros on strava, ans John Korir will run really slow on warm ups, cool downs, and wasy runs. And of course really fast on his workouts.Some American pros hardly ever go slower than 7 minute mile...

It's fascinating because you know 8 min pace has to feel like walking for a guy that fast, and yet somehow it works. We know that not everyone does it the same way, but still, I wonder - Is it really just down to the fact that going faster would have negligible benefit vs hammering the workouts harder?

Running 8-10:00 pace is a waste of time for him except to burn some calories
What was your time again? Oh nvm
It is a logical fallacy to assume that just because an elite runner runs fast times, he is maximizing his potential or training 100% optimally. Pointing out that an anonymous LRC poster is slower than Hillary Bor does not prove your point either. All that being said, truth hurts is incorrect that 8-10 minute pace is a waste of time for Hillary Bor.
If the purpose of easy running is just to improve mechanics and your aerobic base- why does it matter if an elite guy runs 6 flat or 8 minutes, assuming he’s not shuffling or breaking form?
