Im not looking for a time, just to finish the distance feeling good.

I can run 6 miles fairly easy, but thats the most I have ever run before.

Do you think this distance is too soon for me to undertake?

with 6 weeks to go? Definitely not... As long as you make yourself go out to train for it

I think you'll be fine, my first one I only ever managed to run 10 miles once before the race and I felt fine (like you, I was not aiming for a tme but just to complete it.)

Go for it - Good luck.

I recommend to improve your fitness you incorporate some hills into your runs.

I have a friend who managed the GNR this year having not completed a run longer than 6miles in training... she had to walk part of it but she surpassed my expectations and still managed to finish.

Focus on getting the mileage in and I'm sure you'll make it round okay... then you have to start planning for your next half so you can improve your time

No problem at all

Just do 5 good weeks with a decent amount of running, then an easy week in the run-up to it.

In the race, remember to start slowly, the pace of one of your easy regular runs, do NOT do what I always do and go haring off, then slow down badly towards the end :eek:

Good luck, best wishes

Thanks your your responses.

Sounds like it should not be too hard to just finish it then.

I don't want to walk, Something about walking any of it feel like I didn't complete it.

Kinda didnt train over xmas. but till get back to it on Wednesday.

Thanks again.

Good luck with it you will do fine, let us know how you get on. What 1/2 are you doing?
