If I start training now - is a half marathon in 5 1/2 months doable?? I plan on following a training program.

    I was running 5k on a treadmill about a month ago. So I have run in the past. I just started running again but outside this time. I think I can do it if I follow my plan and not give up!!!

    I think so. Most programs I have seen are 12 week programs so I would think you would be okay. Good luck! You might want to consider signing up for a 5K or 10K in the next couple of months too

    I started running in Feb this year and have my first half next month. 5 Months seems like plenty to me just follow a training program and remember to warm up and stretch afterwards to avoid injuries :)
