Anyone training for 1/2 marathon or marathon?

I have little rock ark full in march. Then my life ends for iron man training which is sept.

I'm doing the DC Rock & Roll half too- my first! Following that up with the Cherry Blossom 10-miler in April.

I'm doing the RnR Las Vegas half in November!

I did my first half last May and plan to do my second one this May. Planning to train better this time around and am currently looking at different training plans. Not sure if I should pick a run/walk plan or just a running plan.......????

I myself have only done half marathons and they were both walking. Now I think I just might be able to walk/run. Hal Higdin (spelling) has several training schedules. The main difference is time vs. a specific set of mileage. I'm starting with the 'Novice' Runner and walk/running when I can. Let me know how you do.
I'm also doing strength training and yoga as well.

I officially start the 12 week training next week for April. Keep me posted!

Just completed my first 1/2 last weekend! But I didn't run the whole time, so doing another one in November, planning on running it. Will be doing some 5K and 10K before then.

I ran my first half marathon on Thanksgiving and will have my second on 3/23. Marathon training starts after that. I'll run a couple more halfs during marathon training.

Running GA half marathon in March and will probably run a Marathon in Oct.

Rock n Roll New Orleans 13.1 next weekend
Rock n Roll Nashville in April
Air Force 13.1 in September (maybe)
Rock n Roll St Louis in October
Rock n Roll Las Vegas (maybe)

Does the tough mudder count as a half? (I know it's only about 12 miles but still)

The TM was hands down the most fun race I have ever done. I'm doing another one this fall and I'm already so excited!

One day I will train for the 1/2 marathon. Currently I'm trying to train to run the 5k. I'm using the couch to 5k program and it is great!
Right now I'm on week 8 day 3. Last day. YEAH!!!!!:happy:

My first half marathon of the year is next weekend. Will probably get a few more half's in over the year and i also have an ironman and a middle distance triathlon later in the year.

Feel free to add me if you fancy it.

I'm about 8 weeks into training for my first half. I went for a run one day, and remembered how much I liked running (I had just celebrated losing pound #50 and felt like my joints were up to the challenge). I came home and put my accomplishment on Facebook, and a dear friend from high school who lives far away in Brooklyn invited me to run the Livestrong Half in Austin in February. Without deliberating too long, I decided to take the plunge! I've followed a conservative training schedule that I found online that was a 10 week plan, which was right for me. I don't do the interval portions (although I know I should if I want to get faster!), but my main goal is to finish the race, and hopefully run the whole way. Last week, I did my longest run of the training schedule, the 10 mile training run, and was really pleased with my time and how my HR stayed in my goal range about 95% of the 108 minutes it took me to complete my run. I'm alternately excited and nervous about the half coming up. Once I have one under my belt, I'll have to look at what I want to do next. Texas is miserably hot from May to October, so I may have to take a break and start back up with a half in the fall or winter.

Disney World Full next Jan! It will be my 1st full. Sooooo excited!

I did my first half Dec 1st, followed by one Dec 29th and one January 11th. Yes I'm hooked. I have one in two weeks from now and then at least two in March and two in April.
