What's a good routine to work with to build up for a Half Marathon. I do 5ks and I've done a 10k, about to do another in a couple of months, but if I wanted to boost up my distance for a half, what's a good training program?

    I would check out www.Runnersworld.com or google Hal Higdon for half marathon training plans. I've used his the last couple I've run and they worked out nicely.

    Have fun! :)

    Thank you for your suggestion. I am training to do my first half and I wanted a schedule that I could easily understand. I have printed out the Hal Higdon's training program and can see that it will easily fit into my schedule with mild tweaking. Happy Running! :<)

    I'll second Hal Higdon's plans. Last summer I had never run more than 3.5 miles at a stretch and signed up for a half marathon with 11 weeks to train. The Hal Higdon plan got me to the finish.
