easy run
Gentle recovery trot
An easy run is a training run done at a comfortable, conversational pace—slow enough that you could chat without gasping.
Runners use easy runs for recovery between harder workouts, building aerobic base without taxing the body: I'm just doing an easy run today, nothing intense.
The pace feels sustainable, almost leisurely.
