This calculator is excellent.

This is one of the reasons I like training by heart rate-you run at the same rate and your pace will speed up on it's own as your fitness improves.
A half marathon pace will feel easy through the first part of the run. Feeling good at 6 doesn't mean you'll feel that way at 13.1.

Parents went to bed and I wasn't tired so I went for a run. 8.1 miles in 1:27:34... started out strong but at mile 6.5 I slowed down drastically. Still okay with the time and distance though since it's been my longest for both so far.
