Hahaha Funny, What I would suggest for a half marathon is a whole lot of long runs. Usually what I for my 5k’s is a mix or tempo and long runs but half marathons are an awkward race. Go out on the longest run you can even if it’s only 3 miles. You should work up to maybe even 16. That’s what my long run is. Eat healthy when you start your training. Do this very slowly because it’s a long time until 2010 but don’t over do it and get hurt.
