Did this. Had trouble running that slow (probably because I was on my own so didn't have anyone to talk to to slow down. Worked hard to try to make the "slow" miles close to the 8:50/miles and tried to make the other ones absolutely no faster than 8:20/miles.
Took a Powerade gel that didn't need water around the 1 hour mark. Didn't feel like I needed it, but took it anyway.
Not sure if I would be able to go faster (maybe?). Left knee was sore around the 6 mile mark, but gradually went away.
Overall distance: 9.01 miles
Overall time: 1 hour 17 minutes 02 seconds
Overall pace: 8:33/miles
Average heart rate: 159 bpm
Average Temperature: 70 degrees (started off at 80, but cooled off as time went on)
Mile 1: 8:23.0 (I know, I know)
Mile 2: 8:44.5
Mile 3: 8:46.4
Mile 4: 8:26.2
Mile 5: 8:22.1
Mile 6: 8:22.3
Mile 7: 8:25.9
Mile 8: 8:41.3
Mile 9: 8:41.3
I liked having to try and keep it at a "pace." I programmed it in in the watch so it was like a game and broke the run up nicely having different paces for different parts.
