Timeframes

According to these experts you've got to train for 12 weeks for a half marathon.

...so maybe I should pick a half marathon ten weeks from the start of March, except that's the middle of May and between two bank holiday weekends. Then, what if the summer is actually any good? Do I really want to be running through it? Cross training maybe. We'll be getting bikes before summer if there's any luck. And I guess it wouldn't hurt, I'm just looking for excuses. Next job is definately to pick an achieveable date for a half. Otherwise, what will be the point of taking my running shoes on holiday in February?

www.runnersworld.co.uk is the obvious place to start.

In other news, its finally almost light till 5pm. The dark days of winter are coming to a swift close.
