Hi
A colleague is hoping to run a 1/2M in just over 8 weeks time. Does anyone know of an 8 week beginners training schedule he could follow? The shortest one I've found is the RW 10 week one. I don't think he's aiming for a time - just to get round - and he does do some running at the moment (half an hour a couple of times a week I think).
Thanks!

I'm preparing for my first 1/2M and started with 8 weeks to do it in. Prior to this I was just doing 30 - 40 mins 3 times a week so I started following the RW 10 week prog but just jumped in further ahead.
By adding a long run each Sunday and then increasing this by 10 mins per week, I am slowly getting closer to my goal. I have found this is not too demanding and I'm actually enjoying the longer runs.
I think the most important thing is to increase the training slowly and to take rest days for recovery and to avoid injury.
