1% incline 8:57 speed for the first three. 1.5 at 9:13. I really want my easy pace to be at 8:57 but if it doesn't feel easy could it do more harm than good to push it? What if I use that as my easy pace until I start training for Boston and then reevaluate. Last week I felt like I had no real recovery runs while I didn't push too hard I just didn't feel refreshed ever...Now I am just rambling....any way I would love any thoughts/ideas on the matter.

The pace for recovery runs is irrelevant. You should not gauge your fitness level on your recovery pace. I never wear a watch during recovery runs and just run at a nice and relaxed pace. With that said, I think you would be alright with out having true recovery runs while you are not in the middle of a training program. They are not as essential during the off season.

Like Andy said, as long as your not doing any real hard speed, tempo, or long runs. Your probably fine keeping your running at that pace, but when you really need a recovery run, it's best to run at whatever feels easy.

I agree w/ Andy and Rhett in regards to recovery runs.

While you're not in a training program, it's a good time to figure what works for you. I'd do a lot of base miles and not worry too much about pace.

or you could take it easy like me.

Sometimes it is much easier for me to run a real recovery run if I am running with someone else and get lost in conversation. :)

(Maybe we should all meet up for recovery runs!)
