First Half Marathon

Hi all, my names Jason, Ive only been running for a few months when I decided I wanted to run the reading half marathon in march, anyone got any tips for a newbie? Thanks :)

That's great, it's good to have a goal to aim for! Good luck with the training! There are some good tips in the beginners' running section on here:

Thanks for the tip :) I didn't notice it before, and the site has some good adivce.

I did my first Reading one a couple of years ago and used the BUPA beginner to half marathon 12 week programme. Did the trick and I finished in 2:31.29.

Also, join us on tuesday nights at the Sweatshop Running Community. It's a nice easy regular 2.8 miler.

Thanks for the tip, I'll post what my time is, I have a time to aim for now :) Sounds nice where do you guys meet?

That sounds a great time to aim for, good luck and keep us posted!

Yeah good luck, looking forward to hearing how you got on

Good luck! How's the training going? Are you following a training plan?

Thanks for the support guys :) Trainings going well thanks, Im still getting used to the amout I have to eat :L Im not following a plan for the momment as all the ones Ive found so far are three month ones, I thought I'd try them a bit closer to the start date...
