uh-oh, you asked THE QUESTION.

Short answer: a comfortably hard pace that you can maintain for an hour.

Long answer: there are a kajillion different definitions, depending on who you ask, what running book they last read, what decade they first started running, what brand of shoe they wear, whether they prefer regular or whole wheat pasta....

Go with the short answer.
