Achieving a Half Marathon

The half marathon distance is extremely popular with walkers and runners. While the 13.1 miles (21 kilometers) is a challenging distance, it doesn't take the same amount of training. Most regular walkers can achieve a half marathon with just 3-4 months of training.

I put my own reputation on the line today as I walked the local Helvetia Half Marathon. I have been steadily increasing my walking workout distance through May, but hadn't done the full half marathon distance yet this year. Don't try that at home! Because I've done so many in the past, I knew I could make it without full training. But I could have finished a lot happier if I had followed my own training schedule.
