For me, Weston Creek is a stepping stone to faster half marathons later in the year. So there is no pressure. 95 minutes seems like a sensible time to aim for; and it is 4:30 per km almost exactly; simple mathematics even for me. I may well set out at that pace in the first half, and if I am having a good day (which is expected) I can speed up in the second half, or if I am having a bad day, which is also a possibility, I won't have started too fast, and it won't have been too bad.
