Is 2 months enough time to train for a half marathon??

I hope so as I’m running my second half marathon in 2 months and have only just started my training again! Yes you can do it but you need to be sensible about your goals and you will need to stay focused and committed to your training. Start by working on endurance – so running for a length of time. Then work on your speed by doing stints of fast run/walk/fast run/walk. Start combining the two until you get your speed and distance up. Don’t worry so much about making it in a fast time – the key thing is to find the pace you are comfortable with and stick to it. Wear a stopwatch and also a pace band (you can sometimes get them on the day or make one yourself). Basically have a list of the time you should pass each mile marker in line with your personal pace. Your first 6 miles should be your slowest as you want to ease into it and conserve energy. Invest in some decent trainers if you can and get out there at least 3 times and preferably four times a week. Here is a link from the Runner
