I have the same question, what was your fluid consumption?
Also, was it hot and humid? Do you stretch after runs?
I go slower whenever my distance goes up.
You will eventually get faster when stay at the same distance
for a few weeks.
If you train consistently and taper properly you can get under 2 HM.
But patience is paramount to be successful with your goals.
