Good run, had a friend pace me who is a faster runner than I am. we started off a little too strong and I was hurting by mile 3. We pushed through and I was able to get under 7 min mile pace for the first time in a race.
What would you do differently?:

start off a bit slower and try to stick to the race plan a little more
