medium pace
Neither fast nor slow
Medium pace describes a speed that is neither fast nor slow—a moderate, sustainable rate of movement or progress.
In cricket, a medium-pace bowler delivers the ball at speeds between slow spin and fast bowling: He's a reliable medium-pace bowler who swings it both ways.
More generally, anything done at medium pace proceeds at an unhurried but steady clip.
