Easy runs are the foundation of your training plan, and Run Flo schedules them intentionally to help you build aerobic endurance, recover between harder workouts, and stay consistent with your training. Here's why they matter:
🫀 Build Your Aerobic Base
Easy runs train your cardiovascular system without taxing your muscles or nervous system. This helps improve overall endurance, making you more efficient over time.
🔄 Active Recovery
After a tough workout or long run, your body needs to recover. Easy runs boost blood flow and aid muscle repair while keeping you moving without additional strain.
📈 Support Higher-Quality Workouts
By running at an easy pace, you save your energy and legs for your more intense workouts like intervals or tempo runs, where performance matters most.
Easy runs are stress-free. No pressure to hit a certain pace—just get out, move, and enjoy the run. They’re great for confidence and long-term motivation.
Elite coaches have always relied on easy runs to build volume safely. Run Flo incorporates this proven method into your plan automatically, using smart pacing and recovery logic.
