what is your pace difference b/w a 5K and a HM?
I can run a 5K at about a 9:15/mi pace. Trying to figure out a reasonable goal for a HM I hope to run in January.
ETA: I have yet to run a 10K, so I'm not sure of my pace on that. Doing my first in July.

Re: what is your pace difference b/w a 5K and a HM?
Relative to my 5k pace, my 10k pace is about 1 minute slower, and my 15k pace is about 1:25 slower.
I got a stress fracture training for my first half, so I didn't get to do it. I was hoping to hit no more than 10 seconds slower than my 15k pace.
Awesome, thanks for posting that!

I'm a new runner. I ran my first 5K exactly 1 year from when I will run my first half. (pace-11:38 mm) My 3 mile race this year (pace: 10:18 mm); I blame the cold for this crazy good pace though since I've never hit it since. I never ran longer than 3 miles when I moved into half training in March. I ran a 10K end of March at 11:38 pace. All of my long runs are averaging almost 12 mm which is my goal for my half next week.
Which, surprising to me, seems to be the norm.
For my PR races...
5K = 7:22/mi
HM = 8:29/mi (which included a bathroom stop, grrr)
About a minute slower per mile for a half is not out of the question.

I just ran a huge PR 5k last Saturday...23:32 which is like a 7:36 pace (if I am thinking right).
The week before that I ran a PR for a half...2:02 which is like a 9:21 pace (again, I may be off).
Based on my 5k pace and the macmilan calculator, I should be able to do SO much better in a half marathon. I have another one in a few weeks so hopefully I can close the gap between those times. I'll be happy with those paces being a 90 seconds different.
