Could use some training advice for a half marathon.

Congrats on signing up for you first half and good job so far! I think you'll find that regardless of your prep you will find a way to finish come race day. All of the resources mentioned earlier are pretty good. Just find something that works for you and something you can stick to. I would recommend incorporating some plyometrics into your routine. This will strengthen you up and increase overall performance. Also, do some sprints occasionally to get your heart into overdrive. Just be careful not to overdo it and recognize your limitations. Anyway, good luck and have a blast!

Thanks. On a recommendation I got the book "The Nonrunners Marathon Trainer". Good book so far. I figured can use it to prep for the half and then should I want to do a full one, I have a good reference to get there. Today was a easy 3 mile run. I did just over 5k in my best time yet.
