Can I run half marathon in 4 weeks?

Your're pretty much there.

Final two weeks to taper and reduce milage and pace so you are fresh and rested for race day.

10 miles in training is quite sufficient particularly if the goal is to complete rather than a particular time. You're pretty much there.

Why not ease back slightly next week if you're tired. Do the full 10 or so the week after and reduce over the next two weeks.

You should be able to manage a marathon in 4 weeks; I believe most people do it in under 5 hours. Are you planning to walk on your hands?

I second run mummy run on fb. Lots of good tips and very supportive. The regional groups are less intense and don’t fill up your newsfeed

Yes. You'll be fine.
Take two days off, recover then back on plan. You only need to do a longest run of 10 miles two weeks before, then taper.
Don't get focussed on time for your first, just train properly and you'll be fine. Try to enjoy it!

Yes. I would say so.

I have run 4 half marathons - and due to circumstances never trained as much as I should have done prior to each one.

There is nothing wrong with a walk/run method for a half. It's a long way. :)

Many runners don't do the full distance in training prior to a race.

Your time sounds fine to me. If you managed 9.5 miles in almost 2 hours then in theory your 13.1 should be done in 2.5 hours (ish). That's quite respectable for a half. Especially a first timer.

Are you in any running groups on facebook or Instagram? Run mummy run on facebook is amazing for support and advice. Worth joining the group.

Be kind to yourself. It's supposed to be fun, you know and enjoy!

You don’t need to train for the full distance. I think you can do it. Sounds like maybe you didn’t have enough fuel for the run.

Have a look at what you have eaten the last 2 days. Also, did you take any fuel with you when you ran?

The furthest I ran before my first half marathon was 10 miles. I completed it in 2 hours 27. Not fast at all but finishing was an achievement for me.

Well I’m running a half in 4 weeks and my longest run so far is 6 miles and that was 3 weeks ago 😂😂😂 I’ve done one before but that was 2 years ago.

Don’t worry about your time and don’t worry about walking and you will get through it.

Which one are you doing?

As someone doing couch to 5k and still very much in the couch period- ie my running is interspersed with a lot of walking- I definitely couldn’t! But if you think you’re making the progress needed to get there good luck to you. Know that I’m rooting for you!
