Betcha I don't! I'm *walking* the half marathon this weekend. I've been in such a fight with my boo-boo hip that I haven't run in months. (though I did run about a block this weekend)

I was asking my co-workers (who are serious runners, whereas I am a comedic runner) your question about training distance/speed. The marathoner in the office said she would recommend Oakleaf's set up. The former Olympic middle-distance runner said he'd do the run-walk routine and try to increase the length of the run portion as you go. Pretty much pushing the distance and letting the speed take care of itself.

Hope that helps! At least it's better than my training non-plan!
