I took the chance this morning to test myself over 7km - the same distance as the Bay Run on 29th July.
I asked my Imaginary Friend to set a time of 5:00/km - which I expected to be able to beat, but I wasn't sure by how much.
In the end I managed 32:49 so that's 4:41/km.
The route today was certainly more undulating than the Bay Run will be, and I did struggle to maintain pace up the hills. The last km was a real struggle and my pace dropped to 5:20 for that km. The first 5km were knocked out at an average of 4:32/km, the 6th dropped to 4:50.
So maybe if I keep the pace at 4:35/km for the whole route - I should be able to aim for a finish time of about 32 minutes.
