    Wow, that McMillan running site is hard core! This was my favorite part on that page:
    NOW THE FUN STARTS!
    While you recover with an easy jog, allowing the fog that is total exhaustion to clear, we now have a clear picture of your physiological status across several speeds.

    If you're happy with your current pace, that's great. What you really need to decide is if you'd like to take it up a notch. If you do, you're body will burn more calories (your body will burn fewer calories as you get comfortable with one intensity), and your speed will improve.

    I'd recommend googling interval training. It will shock your system in a good way, and your speed will improve.
