I desperately want to complete my first half marathon in 5.5 weeks time as I'm 'running' for a charity. But, I know that I'm not ready for it yet.
I've run a few slow 5ks in the past and started training for this event 4 months beforehand. About 4 weeks ago I managed a distance of 8 miles (but with all the hills around here, it took 2 hours). So on my track record so far, I might make it round in 3 hours. My fastest mile has been 12 mins but I generally average 13mins.
I've found it very difficult to train during the summer holidays as I am with the dcs all the time and I've only had the weekends to train. When school/nursery starts back this week I should be able to return to 3/4 times a week.
Am I being completely daft to go ahead with this? Any advice on how to train in the final weeks would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone
