There are some training plans that you can follow online (I'll see if I can find some), but yeah it's just a case of building up your mileage up to a week or 10 days before your run (after which you then start to 'taper' and cut down the mileage as it won't benefit you for the race after that point and you want to start recharging and avoiding injury).
I'd definitely suggest running the 13 miles as a training run, or pretty close to it. That way you know that on the day you're not concerned about going into unknown territory and it's one less thing to worry about. A few others on blonde have recently done their first half-marathons and might have some good advice too.

Needed to start upping my mileage with the 5 weeks to go till Berlin.
Was planning on doing 13 miles today, but also went out with Lyndsey who ran 10k for the first time. So I ended up doing 19 miles in total, with two hours between the 10k and then going out to do the 13 miles.
Legs ache a bit now...

Yeah, it's meant to be one for a PB, but the lack of training due to injury might put pay to that.

So, based on my 10K time from the weekend I wondered what the 'race prediction calculators' would give me as my expected time for a half or full marathon (they assume the appropriate training has been done for each event). They seem a bit optimistic! | Click to see full-size image. |

Cheers fella  How's your training going? I'm just getting up now to run 13-15 miles (depending on how long it takes). It's a bit early... |

Feel like i need new places to run tbh, like new scenary if that makes sense. Also, i've just been free running using the micoach app. I dunno whether i should mix it up and be using the other setting and other training types? |
