I get this question a lot. My take: the ratio matters less than keeping easy days truly easy. Most recreational runners do almost every run at a moderately hard pace.

• Easy days: a pace you can hold a conversation at
• One or two proper quality sessions a week: threshold or intervals
• Count the ratio in minutes, not in number of runs

How do you keep your easy days easy?
