1/2 Marathons

[biggesto]

My Chief and Sgt signed me up to run the 500 Mini-Marathon coming up in May (guess that is part of being a rookie). ANybody ever run a 1/2 marathon and have some good training tips? I'm up to 9 miles at a stretch but that last 4 miles may kill me yet.

There's a reason the half is becoming THE most popular run distance in the country. It's long enough to be challenging, but still be fun.

Here's another site that offers some great training programs for the half (the link will take you directly to the half-marathon training program).
