Anything slower than 8:00 pace is NOT running - it's trotting or speedwalking. So how is there any benefit at all? Looking at Strata some people are running 80 mpw with most of those miles 9:00 - 10:00. How can they possibly improve???

Unless you are maybe a 16:30 5K runner, almost all of your running should be slower than 8:00 pace

Cool trolling, bro. Let me know how it works out for you.
Is there any benefit to running slower than me????? Anything (barely) slower than my pace is NOT running - it's trotting or speedwalking. So how is there any benefit at all? Looking at Strata some people are running 80 mpw with most of those miles slower than me. How can they possibly improve???
And don't get me started on those dopers who are faster than me!
Toshihiko Seko did a lot of walking.

0/10
Noureddine Morceli often did his recovery runs at a 10 minute mile pace. Remember make your easy runs easy and your hard runs hard i.e. Noureddine Morceli 400m reps at 55 seconds.
Depends weather its on roads or trails... Trails 8+ pace is acceptable because GPS is not accurate and it's significantly more difficult. Roads.. unless it's a cooldown or a warmup.. yeah you should be running sub 8 pace unless you're 60.

25-30 miles @8:00 is acceptable
