   • I'm thinking about doing the St Albans half marathon in June. That gives me about 14 weeks to get up to 13 miles.....from 0. Well I ran 2.5 a couple of weeks back but that was the first run in 6 months.
     
     Anyone done any marathons/half marathon? How much training did you do?

   • My sister does half marathons (I don't race any more, so my 'regimes' would not be helpful) and she's over this weekend, so I'll try to remember to ask her.
     I think she usually starts training 12 weeks beforehand.
     
     There is a good book called the Competitive runners handbook which I've heard is quite helpful. I've got a copy but haven't read it:

   • Nice one, cheers.
     
     The words "12 weeks" has filled me with optimism. I'm all for pushing things as hard as I can but I've damaged myself through this a couple of times recently and I didn't know if 14 weeks was a realistic target.

     I used to as a kid... now I'm fat and lazy.
