McMillan pace calc says my easy mileage pace should be between 6:10-7:04, however, I've always ran my easy mileage based on how I feel, and have always been told by multiple respectable runners that I shouldn't even look at my pace during easy runs. I know a lot of you on here tend to say you run sub 7 pace for all your easy runs, but aren't easy runs all about getting in the volume while recovering? I'm just confused because I've heard a few stories of kids who got burnt out because they didn't get proper recovery on their easy runs due to running them based off a certain pace, then running workouts the next day and feeling like crap, then running mileage again the next day and digging themselves deeper with more burn out pace. Anyone have any insight on whether its best to run by feel for easy runs or go off McMillan pace?
