Today after our run we discussed getting ready for the City to Sea Half Marathon, coming up this October. Like Lealah said, you'll need to commit to running a few times a week to get your body ready. And we'll all eventually work our way up to long runs on the weekends... 8 to 10 miles or so. The thing is, anyone can run 13.1 miles. You just have to commit and be realistic about it. If you wanna do it, you have to train. Not only should you look at it as, "I'm gonna run 13.1 miles!!! Holy crap!", but you should also go into expecting to have a good time doing it and not feeling like you wanna die.
This is the training schedule I used to train for my first half marathon last month. It's super simple and easy to follow.
HALF MARATHON TRAINING SCHEDULE.
And it'll have to do until we'll get a little training schedule up on the website.
Good luck ladies! Let's do this!
