ASammy1: I'm using Hal Higdon's Novice Half Marathon. I broke it out into 3 segments, and added 3 weeks of semi-rest (read: sleeping in!), plus an extra week at the start, and another toward the end.
My goal is to know I can run 13.1 (which I haven't done since I was much younger, and mentally need to know I can do if I want to do a half iron), not to set any PRs, so this program works well. I love the options for cross training, and am running 3x a week, swimming 2x, and spinning 1x. I may toss in a few interval sessions from the intermediate plan... if I can find a track not covered in ice!
Is your half at least somewhere warm? (Mine is definitely not!) Good luck with your training!
