Hi,
I am considering entering a half marathon on 6th May but am doubting whether 6 weeks is enough time to train for it? I am not a great runner and my aim would be more to finish it then to do it in a fast time! I do not run that much and when i do usually manage about 3/4 miles before i need to walk for a bit!
If anyone can help that would be great! i really want to do it as have done 10km races in previous years and need to step it up!
Thanks
