OK, so I have a half marathon in May and I have 2 training schedules, one for a 2hr -2:15 finish and the other is for a1:45-2 hr finish. Question is which one should I use. My last half time was just over 2:00. I haven't really ran consistantly since Xmas. Right now just running on the treadmill when I can sneak in a run. My schedule starts next week. Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Do you have a link to the plans? How different are they from one another?
Most plans I see are scaleable to any pace/goal.0 -

I'm on the borderline of mileage/week.0 -
I have a question along these lines. I plan to do a half (my first) in June and then a full (also my first) at the end of September. Is it okay to use the full marathon training schedule to train for my half?0

Not sure. Will this be the only schedule you'll be using? If so I would be sure that the mileage is 13 miles for when you do the half. Does that make sense? Basically you want to be running the distance of the race before the race. Hope that made sense. Also, you could probably get a training schedule for both since you have enough time in between. There are some good 12 week training plans out there. Good luck.0

I need a lot more info to answer this. What's your weekly milage like now? I only peaked at the 1:45 plan and there's a decent amount of milage on it. Are you prepared/willing to do that kind of milage? If so, I'd totally go with the 1:45 plan, you already ran a 2:00
