7 miles in one hour doesn't sound very challenging, i mean i could probably manage that and i am somewhat unfit (5'10", ~68 kg)

edit: i am not dissing you, i'm just surprised that it is not as monumentally difficult as i imagined

It works out to an ~8:30 pace, which is right around the 50% age grade mark.. but we did a group warmup at a 10 pace for the first mile so the splits are a little bit off. I've been running less than a year, so that should give you an idea of how terribad these hams are if they can't finish first over 7 miles with a 40 minute head start.

To be fair, they were women who were also quite a bit older than I am, so despite the snail's pace, they probably worked harder than I did.

Still, absolutely nothing to brag about.

i assume 8:30 is short for 8 and a half minutes per mile?
