For the increased mileage that is involved, your easy runs should be at a speed which allows for a conversation to occur. Many refer to this level as conversational pace which is good for an easy run. Alternatively, you can also take advantage of websites which include the Jack Daniels calculator, to enter the most recent race results or expectations to get zones for your training level, more specifically zone 2, which targets easy pace zone.
