There are a few guys on here that have been doing this running thing a while. They’ll probably chime in. Look online for good training programs, too. There is a wealth of information out there.
I have meager running knowledge, but if you’re just starting to get serious, a half in mid March may be a stretch. You don’t want to burn out or overtrain just to meet a possibly unrealistic deadline you set for yourself and then get discouraged when you don’t meet it.
In any event, running is certainly good for the mind and body (in my experience) and once you get into it, it takes minimal effort to keep going. A body in motion generally tends to stay in motion.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

I agree with DSJ. 8 weeks isn't enough time to train well for a half, even if you are an experienced runner. I would target a May half and race a 5K and or 10K in march/April as part of your training for that if that is the distance you want to race.

I just did two fulls in 10 weeks. Training isn’t the concern. I’m just looking for what’s next. I want to improve my time and get closer to 3:45 so I’m planning to focus on speed. I just want to find something that builds mileage with speed.
