I'm impressed that pace is fantastic, I run about a 7 but for about an hour 3 times a week, I can hold a 9 for about 5 minutes and then my lungs begin trying to make an exit.

That's a good pace yourself,Wow ,You must be really conditioned to run for an hour,That's great! I don't think I'd last an hour though..I pretty sure I wouldn't lol, I'm on for 30 minutes at the most, 20 spent running,10 walking as a cooldown. I think being able to keep that pace for that long is really impressive, you could probably last in some type of Marathon.

It took 6 months to work up to, I was on deployment and had nothing but time and a treadmill. I have participated in a few 5k runs but don't have the time for anything bigger.

That's amazing honestly. I think I'm going to try to working in running longer.

If you have the willpower to hold that speed for that long it will be a far easier transition than you think, honestly I could not hold the pace you have for more than a few minutes, I have tried to work sprints into my run so my body starts accepting my usual pace as my resting pace but much respect for being such a powerhouse. I have seen a member of my crew hold a 8.5 for an hour but he is built for running.

Thanks appreciate it. 8.5 for an hour? wow...I usually start feeling beat by the end of my run. Props to him O_o.
