My 1st and only suggestion to you right now is to come over and join us on the 'distance runners' group- you'll find a tonne of support, suggestions and helpful people there.

See you there!

I am also training for my first half! I started in mid December. I suggest finding a training schedule based on your previous races and current running schedule. I am using Smart Coach from Runners World. As far as race day, do what you always do before you run! Don't change your habits...do what is comfortable for you! Runners World has a ton of great info!! Be sure to read up on fueling your runs with carbohydrates.

As your long runs build up, experiment with eating before the race. Can you eat a hour before, two? Do you want to run on a massive meal or a light one?

Pick whether you want to race for a time, or just finishing, this will impact your training schedule.

Pick a training plan and stick to it

Good luck!
