5 months ? nice !
ive done 100 miles
I hadnt gone past about 7.5 miles in over 10 years and managed to do the Manchester half marathon. The first 10miles were relatively easy but then started to struggle a little with hip pain but still got to the end in 2 hours 19 which I was happy with.realistically, how / when do you think i could be running half marathon distances ?
just to give me an idea really
my aim is to do my first half summer next year
im running 2-3 times a week, swimming Tuesday evenings
runs consist of anywhere from 3 miles up to 7 if i feel capable!

If you can do 7 miles now and not feel like you are on your deathbed, then you could do a half in 3 no the quite happily. Not death of course, but running consistently through the whole 13miles.
Once a week do a long run and try to get that 7 miles increased slowly, 1 mile a week. After 3 weeks of long-run runs on the 4th week, you need to take a break and stick to a short run. If you start feeling pain in an LR then stop immediately. Running farther is mostly just mental, so forcing a pattern of slow increase will take you through the mental barrier. An extra short run in the week will help a lot overall.
I would see if there is a half marathon in September for you. Might be useful to find a 10km race about 6 weeks before the half marathon as a test race.
Yeah, we knew it was long, but to then come out and say, we got the length wrong first time around... Opps. Typical Beflast
The Right Shoe For: Speedy runners who need a little extra stability toward the end of long runs.
