I've just started training for a 1/2 a marathon. Does anybody have good tips or websites I can visit?

Thx!

Runner's world magazine has a great website, and I recommend the mag as well. Also, the eat clean cookbook (by Tosca Reno) to keep you fully fueled. Enjoy!

Here are some sites that will help you train for a half marathon. Typically the plans follow a 10 or 12-week schedule and are adjusted based on your fitness level and running experience (novice, intermediate, advanced).

Http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/half_marathon.html

Another good site to help you find the right half marathon to run or walk is http://www.halfmarathons.net/.

And if you prefer to use a book to help you through the training (with suggestions about nutrition, rest, shoes, strengthening, etc.), a good choice is Jeff Galloway's "Half Marathon: You Can Do It." I believe it is available in most bookstores and also on Amazon.

Good luck and enjoy the race!
