I got up to 8 miles today (felt really good and probably could have gone another mile or so).
If I get up to 10 or 10.5 by next weekend...do you think I could do 13 by memorial day weekend???
Reason is I am going to Boston and want to run in a 1/2 marathon there. Hmmmmm I may have to just see how next weekend goes!

Re: Marathon and 1/2 Marathon runners....
How do you feel at the end of 8? If you feel okay and with the excitement of the race....I think you could do it. I've never really done over 10 for a 1/2 marathon training.....and I've been good....GOOD LUCK

Re: Marathon and 1/2 Marathon runners....
I have a book on training for marathons - and I ran the half marathon last week. . .
the book said you don't have to ever run the full distance. If you can run 9 miles and feel relatively alive, you can do it, especially with the adrenaline rush.
I didn't even break 10 miles before the actual day and I was able to finish (I was exhausted, but I did it)
I say go for it
