I recently did a 10k in 36:55 on 50-60 miles per week. The mile splits were 5:56, 5:57, 6:01, 5:57, 6:01, 6:02. I'm thinking of doing a half at some point. What would be a good pace to aim for? I am a lot better at endurance than speed. Thanks

1:20:00-1:21:00
1:21-1:22

Probably 6:15-6:30 pace for a half thon.
So 1:21 - 1:25 🤷♂️

What‘s your average weekly long run and pace? Was the 10K a goal race or did you go into it untapered at the end of a regular training week?
Jack Daniels says 1:21:35. If you skimp on your long runs, could be more like 1:23. If you are consistently doing 15-19 milers and that 10K was the end of a 60 mile week, you may be closer to 1:20:5x if you taper.

I completely agree that if you have a strong long run every week, you will be able to go sub 1:25. If you are relatively new to the 50-60, or the “at some point” is several months of solid training from now, sub 1:20 is within reach. Nice pacing in the 10k. That discipline will be even more important in the half. My best half was with a slightly faster teammate urging me to keep up with him, and perhaps more importantly 5 miles in, urging me not to pick up the pace beyond his, when I felt great. Good luck.
1:21-1:22. Outside shot at sub-1:20 with more miles & some progression.
