What kind of time are you aiming for in the half marathon?

So I try to "go hard" which basically means go as fast as I can paced for a particular distance maybe once a week to once every other week. And for the most part it pretty much sucks. It's fun to go balling past the soccer games and people walking their dogs, but that's about where the fun ends. The rest is slight suffocation, pain, and what really scares me is sometimes a lurch in my chest
As someone who's had both covid and the vaxx, I worry about people keeling over these days. And if I'm ever going to die running, it would probably going the furthest distance I go as hard as I can. In the past, I've had borderline medical issues at the end of the half due to going too hard, and that's before fucking around with my heart
So 7 years ago before covid and when I was 180lbs, I usually finished around 1:30, which worked out to like a 7:40ish m/mi or something. This time, I'm going to try to be still above average, probably ideally under 9:00m/mi. But effort-percent wise I'll probably be going 70-80%
