Kipchoge averages 5:20/mile pace on his easy days (18 km in an hour)
Read my previous post - we differentiate between normal easy days, that improve fitness a lot (also the pace of normal long runs), and recovery days or as the other guy called them "very easy" days.
Kipchoge does not do easy days (or "very easy") days at 9:30 pace. Maybe he runs the shuffles the first minute at that pace but the bulk of the run is 5:20 pace according to published sources.
