Half marathon weekly training schedule!

My friend and i decided we want to run a half marathon before the end of the year 🤪

i have never ever considered myself a runner. My New Year’s resolution was to register and run a 5k. And while i still intend to do this, training for it has been loads of fun. I find an escape in running and i now consider myself a runner🤭

I’m a beginner with little long distance experience. I have run 5 miles three times in my life and that’s the furthest I’ve ever gotten😂 so come train with me!
