    I was a serious runner up until about a year ago when I sustained a severe broken ankle in an accident. just got back into running THIS week, and let me tell you, I am a long way from where I started:

    What is your regular training pace per mile?
    this week after starting up again: 3 miles @ 8:30 pace
    last year: up to 12 miles at anywhere from 7-8 min pace depending how hard I was trying to go

    What's your race pace?
    currently: N/A, it'll be AWHILE before I can get back into racing
    last year: ~5:45 (5k PR: 17:38)

    What do you consider a "fast" pace?
    for training, I think I would consider anyone who can run consistently at 8 min pace or less "fast"

    What's your goal pace?
    to get back to where I used to be (dream goal)
    to get back into racing and consistently improve my times (realistic goal)

    What is your regular training pace per mile? I usually run 3/4 miles a time at between 7.5/8 minute mile
    What's your race pace? My best 10k was 7.25 minute mile
    What do you consider a "fast" pace? Well I did a 5k in 6.7 minute mile
    What's your goal pace? Well I'm onto half marathons now, but I'm hoping for around just over 7.5 minute mile

    Just curious to know the paces out there...

    When you ask this I think well for how far of a run 5K 10K or half or a full marathon?

    I aim for 7.5-8 minute mile for 8 miles, for shorter runs 4 miles I aim for 7.5 mile
    Only race ive done was a Half and I was shooting for a 8 min mile turned out to be 8:20 mile
    I consider for a Half or full anything under 7:30 a fast pace for a 5K I would consider anything under 7:00 a fast pace
    My goal is to be able to run half at a 7:30 pace

    I'm a bit different in that I mostly do trail/mountain/hill runs. My pace for the first 2/3 miles might be 15 (or more depending on steepness) and coming back it is much quicker so as long as I even out at under 12mm I am happy. For the flat, which I hate running, it depends on the trail but I usually do 8.5/9. I don't usually go by my pace as it is more about endurance for me.

    I just started running in September. So, I'm still pretty slow, but I'm getting better.

    What is your regular training pace per mile? about 11:30-12:00
    What's your race pace? 10:30-11:00
    What do you consider a "fast" pace? anything under 10:00
    What's your goal pace? 10:00

    I've run a few races and managed to run my fastest 5K in 30:17 and that felt fast to me.
