In what time do you run this distance normally? Not in a race, just an average run over undulating terrain.
I'm a slow one-pacer, but I'd like to know your times to encourage me to try harder!!

tempo pace about 7 mins - 7 20 mins. - 31 - 32 mins.
Hard pace (LV) about 6:45 min miles (28 - 29 mins).
but you shouldnt worry too much about times it will come in time with the fitness levels. good luck.
jack - by the way i love your new profile pic!! have been away from the forum for a few days but your dog is soo cute!! got me wanting a dog even more!!
keep a record of what time you did it in this weel. Then see how you go next week. etc etc etc.
how are you training/scheduling your run to improve? one easy, one long, one tempo per week?

Moderate - 27/28 mins
Flat out - 25 mins
But like the guys have said above, dont worry about what others do it in. Concentrate on what you can do it in and work on reducing that time.
You could have someone who could do it 5 or 10 mins quicker than you, but then you have to ask 'can they cycle as fast as me' or 'can they swim as fast as me' its all ok being a fast runner, but if your swim and bike splits are the slower legs of your race it doesnt matter so much....generally anyway:)
My best leg is the bike and generally not many people are much quicker than me in a race, so if I see people with better run splits or swim splits then I always tell myself that they prob cant ride a bike anywhere near as quick.... that just helps keep my head up during a race:)
Runners word has a usefull training section (think its the smartcoach link)

Your probably best IMHO training by heart rate, hills, tiredness, hydration all have an effect on speed but if you train by hear trate you truely know how much effort you have given.
