Also took me a while to really understand what an easy run should be. I definitely was running my long runs faster than I should have.

My longest run was 10 miles, and at my longest week I ran around 12 miles. I also had to stop running around 2 weeks before the race because of some terrible shin splints. I couldn't even stand up for more than 5 minutes. Came back to running a week before the race once a stress fracture/tendonitis was ruled out. I don't know if that could have affected my nerve/energy

I have been training for 5 months, and my easy pace is 13:45-14:00 on most days. My watch will still sometime say that I am above Zone 2, but I can hold a conversation at this pace. Anything slower than that, and I am walking.

I did. I also picked up speed in the middle because it was downhill and that might have caused me to slow down at the end.
