Aflojar el paso

I came across this the other day:

Este no es el momento de aflojar el paso.

What do you think?

This isn't the time to slacken off?

RAE says:

  1. intr. Dicho de una persona: Dejar de emplear el mismo vigor, fervor o aplicación que antes en algo. Aflojó en sus devociones, en el estudio

I would agree with you smile - this isn't the time to slacken off.

Aflojar el paso means to slow down. I have never heard "slacken off" but I have heard "slack off".

Gracias.
