What is a good way for a beginner to train for a half marathon?

I'm thinking about running a half-marathon in or around Pheonix this January. The longest distance I have ever competitively run was 5 miles. I'm intersted in any resources anyone might have (internet, books, etc...) regarding training for the race.|||A good book is Marthoning for Mortals by John Bingham. The book includes training plans for walking, walk/running, run/walking, and running both a half marathon and a full marathon. There's also lots of great advice.





You can find many training plans on the internet, too. Hal Higdon has a good plan: http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/ Or Cool Running: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/鈥?/a> Or Runner's World: http://www.runnersworld.com/subtopic/0,7鈥?/a> I'd recommend following the beginner or novice plans.|||go to this website
