Add my 1/8 mile speed and my 1/4 mile speed together than devide that by two?? So I run 77+96=173 than devide that by two is 86.5 I suck *** at math so would this be right?
Or do you have to know your speed at every foot or something crazy like that..

Well, if you had a plot of your speed vs distance, you could then find the area under the curve and divide by the distance. Or, if you had some data points of speed vs distance at various points along the track, you could fit a function through those points, integrate the function over the distance, and then divide by the total distance.
