How should I train for a half marathon in 9 weeks?

I recently signed up for a half marathon on the 25th of april but I have no idea how to start training. I don't do much running at the moment (maybe once a week jog) and have not run for more than 5-6K at a time. I do cycle a fair bit though so am not too unhealthy. How should I train in the remaining 9 weeks. My aim is to finish in around 2 hours (hopefully less) or at least finish in an average-ish time.|||Try to find a training group or running club in your area. If the half marathon is near where you live, there may well be a group training specifically for the event. Look on Twitter for a group.|||I'd follow a progressive training plan - Hal Higdon is a good one.
