Pronation and tendinitis

Translating 5K pace to 1/2 Marathon Pace
Just read an article on Runners World about 5Ks and 1/2 Marathons.

Weekly mileage for Half Marathon Training
I heard someone recommending this morning that in order to train for a half marathon, you need to be running 30 miles a week. That seems awfully high to me. I'm only topping out at around 23 miles on my longest week before my race. Anyone else think 30 miles a week is high?
