Where does 6:52/mi come from?

The arithmetic

1:30:00 = 90 minutes

90.00 min ÷ 13.109 mi = 6.865 min per mile

90.00 min ÷ 21.098 km = 4.266 min per km

1:30 half marathon = 6:52/mi = 4:16/km, every split of the way

Is a 1:30:00 half marathon realistic?

Realistic with a 10K around 40:30–41:00 or a 5K around 19:30. The 1:30 half is usually the second or third serious attempt at the distance: it needs both the 10K speed to make 6:52/mi feel controlled and the mileage to hold it for 13 miles. Runners who can run 40:30 for 10K but miss 1:30 for the half need volume, not speed.

Typical prerequisite performances — rules of thumb, not predictions

5K ≈ 19:31
10K ≈ 40:32
Marathon ≈ 3:12:30

What does this goal mean for training?

Goal pace is 6:52/mi. Easy running at 7:55–8:25/mi, threshold work at 6:30–6:40/mi in 2–3 mile repeats, and long runs of 10–13 miles with finishes at goal pace. The 1:30 half is a threshold race — the session that predicts it best is 3 × 3 miles at 6:45/mi with short rest.

Training paces implied by a 1:30:00 half marathon.
Session	Pace /mi	Role
Race goal	6:52	the pace on the day
Tempo / threshold	6:32–6:42	comfortably hard, 20–40 min
Long run	7:22–7:52	the backbone of the build
Easy running	8:22–8:52	conversational, most miles

Ranges are standard coaching rules of thumb — individual economy varies
