Excuse my ignorance, but what does: "accelerating to near 15-K pace" mean when referring to a tempo run? More over, I just don't know what a 15-K pace is...

    Are you following Hal Higdon's training plans?

    Yes, I'm starting with the 8k plan first then ultimately a half marathon.

    That depends on you. Many runners have different paces for different lengths of races (the shorter the distance, the faster the pace usually). I'm pretty new still (only been running for about a year), so the only big difference is my 5K pace. Your 15K (9.3 mile) pace will most likely be slightly faster than your Half-Marathon pace, but how much faster is really determined by your ability and experience.
