Depends what you class as running. the trick is to stay comfortable, run all the bits at a slow pace, it's along way! walk all the climbs and run down all the descents, if you find your self breathing hard you're going too fast. you should be able to chat all the way round. may be run 100 paces walk 100 paces but keep the momentum going. Don't hang around at the road crossings, get some food and keep going, 10 minutes at each feed station will cost you an hour just like that?
