BINGO! There is so much information missing from this article. Sigh.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling that this will either (1) discourage non-runners from even picking up the sport because they think the "perfect pace" is impossible for them, or (2) runners will risk serious injury trying to reach the "perfect pace" if they currently run slower. Hey, some people believe everything they read.
I truly believe everyone has a perfect pace for themselves at each distance, and part of the fun of running is finding that pace, not trying to achieve one pace that some "research" has deemed perfect for everyone. Its irresponsible to write an article like this without much more information provided.
I've been told that I'm a princess ... that's a compliment right? ... and I run marathons, hence my blogging name. I've learned to embrace my diva ways over the years, and hope others have too. One cannot have too many designer purses or cute running outfits.
My family and friends are the joys of my life, and I hope I have added happiness and humor to theirs, when I'm not PMSing, that is. Oh, and I'm 100% Texas A&M Aggie. Gig 'Em!

I read that news yesterday. It is a poorly written article by a non-runner (possibly).
Optimum pace for which distance? 1 mi, 5k, 10k or marathon?
