My coach said he would tell the people that thought they couldn't run a few sustained miles (usually the sprinters) that you can't run slow enough doing long distance lol. I had never really run more than a mile before my first year of doing track last year (at first I was a sprinter but moved over to long distance after I enlisted) and I did my first 3 miles in 25 minutes barely sucking air at the end (I was running with my track coach because I was new)--it was hard during the actual course, running uphill and what not but at the end I thought I could have run another mile or two.

I guess what I'm trying to say is try running slow(er) at first and working your way up.

A 7 mph pace is a good pace to run (8:34/mile).
