Here's my lifelong maxim: Unless it's a race, run at an effort that FEELS LIKE 90% EVERY DAY (well, on most days, at least, since you will need a day or two of true recovery per week). So, if you do intervals one day, don't red-line them. Run them at a fast but controlled effort (i.e., what feels like 90%). On the following day, because you are fatigued, your body will be NATURALLY LIMITED as to how fast you can run. In other words, if you were to push it and go all-out the day after your interval day, your body will max out about 0:30-1:00/mile slower on an 8M run than if you were going in to the same run feeling 100% rested. So, then, even though you're running slower the day after intervals, you're still "pushing" the pace at what FEELS to be 90% effort, even though in practice, you're running at a pace that is about 80% if you were 100% rested. This typically comes out to be about 1:30-2:00/mile slower, the low range (1:30/mile slower) being typical and the high range (2:00/mile slower) when you're more fatigued than usual (i.e., after a race).
If you're running so slow (11:00/mile) on your easy days, my hunch is that you're taking your quality days too hard (100%), and then you're wasting the other days in between (50%). So, hold back on the quality days so that you don't compromise your training (remember, training is cumulative stress) or risk getting injured, and, in turn, go a little harder on your easy days... In other words, go out at what FEELS like 90% effort every day.
