Yeah, I don’t know too many people that can call in a run. I certainly can’t. Although I have to say that my shorter runs or slower runs are certainly easier to do than a temp or long run.

I don’t think there is another word. I look at “easy” runs in a different way — just going out, not worrying about my pace and just hitting a generic distance. Like if I plan for 3 miles but go 3.5 or 2.9. The point of an easy run, I think, is for it not to ruin the rest of your day. Instead of saying “easy run,” I usually just say “normal run.” If I run 4 days a week, half of them should be “normal” anyway. The other days, when not getting over an injury, should be some kind of mix of speed or hills. Then of course a lot of runners have a “long” run, which is generally at a slower pace anyway. My advice would be to not get caught up in your pace on every run.

“Bone crushingly hard but let’s call is easy” run. Had a few of those!

Well, that might offend this guy, a runner who goes by the name "Vanilla."
