Hi All,

I'm new to my fitness pal, and am training to do a half Marathon in June. I'm following the Hal Higdon novice plan.

Just wondering if there was anyone doing something similar and we could support one another!

Good luck to all!

    I'll be running my second in June (San Diego Rock and Roll), though I technically don't start training until March. I use a schedule that one of our local running groups created. I used it for my first half in October of last year and it works very well for me.

    I'll send you a friend request.

    Not yet, working on the Bridge to 10K here, but will look at working toward a half after that...thinking sometime later this year. Good luck with your training, I'm going to check out the program you are doing when my times comes!

    I have done the KC Half 2 years in a row now. It's in October so my training will start in June probably. We kinda follow our own plan but as long as you get those long runs in & a couple weekday runs you should be fine!! Feel free to friend me...I"m on Facebook as well

    I am as well. But mine is in April. I am off to a slow start in my training so I may need to move the half marathon back a month or two. But for now I am keeping it for the April run. Good luck.

    I did Hal's plan last summer for my first half and loved it! You will do just fine and if you follow his plan, you will definately finish with a smile on your face :-)
    I start training next week for the GreenBay Half Marathon in May. So excited and I am hoping to beat my time from last year. My goal last year was to just finish the race but this year I want to finish under 2hours.
    Best of luck and keep running!

    I train pretty much all year but reduced milage in the winter months. I hate running in the bitter cold so I have to run on the treadmill. I have run 5 half since last March. My next one is in coming up in April then I have one pretty much every month but July. I didnt stick with one training plan I used a few for guidelines and then created my own. I run about 20 to 30 miles a week and do turbo kickboxing or spin class also.

    good luck

    where's your race? My next large one is in NY at Lake Placid.

    I am running a half on Sunday. Can't wait. I love half's! It is my favorite distance!
    I am using this as a training run as I am training for Boston.

    Good Luck- You are going to feel so great crossing that finish line. It is such a accomplishment! :smile:

    I am currently using HH for a full this may. But I used his progam last year to do my first half. I'm going to probably run a couple more halfs before the end of the year. They take up much less time to train for compared to a full.
    Good luck.
