Whats a good time for a 40 yard dash?
It doesn't matter whether your are running 5 miles or 10 miles, your easy pace should be the same. It is roughly 1:30 to 2:00 per mile slower than your 5k race pace. If you where a heart rate monitor, run at 75% of your max heart rate (of course you need to know your max heart rate for this to help).If you are really having problems learning the pace, go to a track and run 1 or 2 miles there at your easy pace. Compute the desired lap time and check each lap. It shouldn't take long to learn the feel of your easy endurance pace.
For something more exact, Runnersworld has a very good training pace calculator. Just enter a recent race performance and it will give you all of the important training paces, including your easy run pace. Take a look at this link.

Do I really need Nike brand shoes to use Nike Plus?
It depends on what you are training for. If you are training for races like a 5K or 10K, then you should probably strive for a 7 or 8 minute pace. You should probably run at about a 1:30-2:30 minute pace slower than your race pace.I Iive in Atlanta, USA. Is there any US TV network showing the Boston Marathon?
