How to Train for a Half Marathon?

How long should i train for half marathon?

• I can run 5 miles comfortably, if i start training now is 7 weeks enough time to be ready for a half marathon?

• Answer:

  How long have you been running 5 miles and how often do you run? It makes a difference as to your base conditioning. Normally you could train to finish the half in as little as 3 to 4 months but normally about 6 months is required. If you have been running 5 miles 4 to 6 times each week, then you could increase your training and do the half in about 3 months minimum.
