Hi!

Can anyone give me any advise on the best ways of training for a half marathon or know any websites etc?

At the moment the only running I do is HIIT training on the treadmill at the gym so haven't done much long distance running!

Thanks for your help :-)

    I found the plans here worked. Basic plans, but they get you there.

    Another vote for Higdon!

    Be sure to get off the dreadmill and get outside to start pounding the pavement as soon as possible.

    I've used Higdon for ever 1/2 and full marathon. Very easy to use.

    also check your local running stores-- my running store has a free half marathon training running group and its been amazing as I have never been a distance runner and there are lots of experts there

    i am running my first in April- before i started training 10 weeks ago I couldn't run more than a mile on a good day. Now I am up to 7 miles =)
