I'm a junior in high school, and I want to run a half marathon in January or February 2009. My season just got over but I am still running. Is this long enough to train? I am in really good shape, but I only have raced 5k's. What should I change in my training schedule? I am used to two hard workouts a week, and 1 long run, and running 6 days a week. Thank you so much!

When my daughter was a HS runner, she did the same thing, only ours was only a month after the season. She just kept up with the weekly milage and threw in a couple of longer runs...10-11 miles.( She won her age group) You should be fine with the extra month or two. Good luck.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
