hey sorry to reply to this SO late but the amount of surges that you should do in your 9 mile run generally depends on how much time it takes you to do the run. if it takes you say an hour and 15 mins, i would probably do 6 surges for 5 mins each. or you could do maybe 3 longer 10 min ones. depends on what you prefer.

my race pace is around 6:45-6:50 but take it at your own pace deffinityly

in hs track a considerably good time for a mile race is 5:30-5:50, but thats with hard training everyday.

in cross country all of our meets are 5k length and usually my pace is around 6:45-6:55

however, dont kill yourself and run super fast in the first mile because youll be dead the second and third miles lol :p try to keep a nice maintainable pace that feels like the fastest pace you could comfortably go for 3 miles. make sense?

also, maybe you could try doing some workouts that include speed intervals or surges in your runs. when we do long 8-9 mile runs we usually have surges of about 90 sec.s each. of course we spread them out with recovery time in between but all in all adding speed intervals and/or sprinting workouts really helps your time.

but, if you just wanna go out there and do a nice easy pace and just sort of run it for fun and enjoyment then totally go for it!!!

hope that helped! goodluck!!
