It is a common misconception that a “conversational pace” is an easy effort where one can carry a conversation while #running.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

A true conversational pace is one that people will have conversations about long into the future. The kind of pace legends are made of.

So, the next time you join a running club advertising a “conversational pace”: Bring your carbon shoes and give them something to talk about.
