Its an hour long.

Put me down for 85 miles this month.

Long runs at least once a week are key in getting faster, it will help with your endurance too. I've found the more miles i log in a week, the faster I am in races. For a half marathon I would use Hal Higdon's plan, it's easy to follow and slowly builds your long runs. But definitely more mileage and some speedwork…

I personally really like Nike Plus, Im always monitoring my splits & you can set mileage or speed goals.

I started the C25K program last June, I used it because I really wanted to be a runner but I had bad running endurance. I would huff and puff through a lap at my weekly bootcamp class. I completed it in September and signed up for 2 local 5ks. One being the Color Run, which is not a timed race. I have to admit though I…

I personally love Zensah compression sleeves, that way you can wear your favorite socks with them or flip flops if you use them to recover after hard/long runs. I use my Zensahs for recovery, they are like a massage for your calves & shins.

Even something as low impact as walking each day will make a big difference, it will help you lose weight and help your lung/heart…
