I am running a half marathon in april should i have already started training/running. I do workout 3-5 days a week with strength training and kickboxing but this is first time running in any kind of race.|||Its good you are cross training you wont get warn out. But start adding in some miles now. Go out first for a few 30-60 minute runs at a pace that is comfortably hard. Keep pushing it and it will become a natural pace for you in about 2 weeks. Start running 3 times a week with a couple days in between.
EX:
Monday: 30 min run comfortably hard
Tuesday: cross train/weights or off
Wednesday: 30 min run. comfortably hard(maybe a little faster)
Thursday: long run 50-60 min (gradually build up to 15 miles)
Friday: off
Saturday: 30-45 min run with some hills or on a cross country terrain
Sunday: cross train/weights
but definitely look up some 12 week plans for half marathons because those help also
once it gets closer about a month and a half before the race you should start including speed work. Fast twitch stuff like tempo runs and longer intervals. then 2 weeks before you will start doing ending stuff like 400m repeats.|||You should hit the road January 1st. Search for some 12 week half marathon training programs online. Good luck!|||yea u should just in case but dont do hard things just like jog for an hour and stuff but start now and good luck
