My pace varies because I go by heart rate
Base building pace is " 180 minus my age"
And for racing
I'm going to give a go with the MARCO pace calculator0 -
When I run outside, my "I'm pushing it" pace is 8:30/mile. On a treadmill, my "I'm pushing it" pace is 9:00/mile. I'm always surprised by this because when I run outside, I feel so slow.
Officially, I did a 10K a 6 weeks ago in just over 48 minutes. I finished a half marathon 3 weeks ago in 1:53, a time I was kinda disappointed in. I attribute that time to the hills in the course. I need to do more hill work. My first half was last September and I will do the race again this fall. The course has changed but that will show whether I have improved or not.0 -
I agree with those who have posted about runners being some of the most inclusive and encouraging people out there. I am a high school administrator. I have worked in 4 different high schools over the course of 18 years. At each school I have ever been at, including the one I attended as a student, the cross country team is always filled with a group of encouraging, welcoming kids. Often, they're kids whose only common interest is running. They invite everyone in and make their team work.
My background is in special education. 11 years ago, I had a student on my caseload who was socially awkward, not a natural athlete, and a target for bullying in every way. The cross country team invited him in, cheered him on in every practice and race, and the students themselves decided to assign him a buddy at each meet who would be responsible to make sure that he made it through the course without getting lost, had someone to warm up with, and didn't leave any of his belongings behind. There was never a shortage of volunteers to be his buddy at any given meet. I always encourage our students to get involved in cross country. When I meet a student who is on the cross country team, I feel like I can assume that s/he is a pretty great kid.
Running is such a great sport because it can be individual or team. You can choose the length of race and terrain that work best for you and always be working toward your own specific goal. You can run alone, with your dog, a friend, a stroller, or a group. You can choose to run for your own reasons or to support a charitable cause. You can be competitive or not. You can run at home or away. But runners of all ages, paces, shapes and experience--we have a spirit inside us.0 -

Just curious to know the paces out there...
What is your regular training pace per mile? Typically I shoot to run a 9 or 10 min mile while training
What is your race pace? It really depends...on a 5K run, I try to do a 7 or 8 min mile. On a 10k run, I shoot for 8 - 9 mins. Longer ones 10 mins.
What do you considered a "fast" pace? Right now, I am saying 7 min miles for me...but I think it depends on the person.
What's your goal pace? Depends on the race...5K's I shoot for a 24 or 25 min race. 10K I shoot for a 48 or 49 min race...0 -
I have been running for one year with most of my emphasis on gaining distance over speed. However, I usually do one faster 2 mile run per week mostly out of curiosity without pressure on myself.
What is your regular training pace per mile? 11:30 - 12:30 (started at 14:00, stayed stuck at 13:00 FOREVER)

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)0 -
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 mile0 -

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 pace0 -
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.0

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

I've run a few races and managed to run my fastest 5K in 30:17 and that felt fast to me.0
