The question has been asked, so I ought to belatedly update.
I started off doing times in the elevens, and got it down to 7:07 by June before suffering increasing pain in my hip. Doctors begat hospital, which begat a visit to another hospital when they discovered I didn't fit in their MRI machine. End result is I need a new hip, and advice was to stop running but keep walking and cycling.
At its worst I was on some kind of nasty painkiller and walking with a stick, but a month or so after quitting running it started to calm down and I now move just fine, although it aches like buggery at times.
So I didn't succeed due to force majeure, but by god was I on course to smash it if fate and the gods of calcium had not deserted me.
