I’d like to be able to run a half marathon eventually at 8:30 pace.

I ran for a few years. Hardly ever ran a training run under 8:30 pace. Mostly in the 9:30 range. My half marathon was 8:15 pace. You have to build up a good base and that takes long slow runs. In order to do that you have to start with short slow runs.
