6:00 Pace = 6:45 min pace
6:30 Pace = 7:00 min pace
7:00 Pace = 8:00 min pace
9:00 Pace = they didn't run that day

Ummm…no………
Unless they're liars, which some are, but most aren't, if they say they ran 6 minute pace, they ran 6 minute pace.
I garmin-verify my paces. So, no I'm not exaggerating.
There are not too many people here posting about running 9:00 pace...

Nope, most if not all of them are liars.
I have gone on many runs with college kids who just kinda assumed they were running a bit under 7:00 pace the whole way. Like we finish 67 minutes and they just sort of assumed that was 10 miles, but in reality we averaged 7:58. Ridiculous.
Might have been true in the pre-garmin days

By pace they mean leg turnover.

Actually, none of them except me have garmins, it was just last year... Although the fastest runner on the team also has a garmin, and he started running honest paces. Suddenly not many people ran with him anymore.
I should also clarify that not everyone on the team drastically over-estimated their paces... but the bottom 85% of the team did.
so the top 15% didn't?
Which College team did you run with? I don't run any of my long runs that slow, even the easy days.
People saying they were running at those paces is not unreasonable at all. I mean, 6:30/mile is really not that fast.
What I think people "lie" about more often is the distance of their runs. There are a lot of "ten milers" out there that are are more like 9.5-9.75.
miles or kilometers?
