Hi,

A friend and I are signing up for a half marathon sometime late summer/early fall. I found/made a training schedule that I plan to use, but I would like to talk with others who are also training for a half marathon. Please let me know if you are interested in starting a group for those training for a half marathon.

Thanks.

    Just did my half marathon last Saturday. I trained with the Hal Higdon novice program.

    i train for halfs, one each month using the runnersworld.com smart trainer. it is a great program and fits well into any schedule but prepares you well.

    good luck!

    Hi! I've run several half marathons. Getting ready to run the Rock 'n Roll San Diego next weekend. Then St. Louis Rock 'n Roll half in October.

    Good luck to you!!

    Hi there!

    I ran my first half in February, and plan on doing another one in October, and my first full in January. I can't wait! I'd love to start a group for half-ers!

    That is pretty much the plan I am using. I just moved things around so that Mondays and Saturdays are my rest days. Do you have any advice/tips for those who are just beginning? How far were you running before you started this program? Just curious.

    Congrats on your half marathon!

    I'm starting my training for my first half in June.. the race is the end of September!!!! I'm excited, nervous.. whatever, I know I can do it! I only started running one year ago, and just did my first 10k a couple weeks ago! Running is awesome... crazy, but awesome. I also use the runnersworld smartcoach app on my phone. It's easy and really works!

    I'm currently training for a half, but I don't have one that I'm registered to run. I live in a rural area, so halfs are hard to come by. I am just running a lot and not really following any sort of program at the moment. I ran the Crim 10 run last August and plan on doing that again this August. I'd love to hear what others are doing to train.
