even pace
Unchanging movement speed
An even pace is a steady, consistent speed maintained throughout an activity.
The phrase appears most often with walking, running, or other sustained movement: She kept an even pace for the entire marathon.
It implies neither speeding up nor slowing down—a rhythm you can sustain without exhausting yourself.
