Hi,
I am running in the London Half marathon at Silverstone on 7th March. At the minute I have run 8 miles but feel comfortable to run the full 13. I am running for Cancer Research and even if I have to walk round I am determined to complete it (ideally for myself, I dont want to stop running at all).
I have mainly done treadmill running and have completed several road runs but as I am a girl I dont like to run on the dark on my own and none of my friends are runners. I want to get as many road runs in before the race but it is always dark when I get home from work. Any suggestions?

This is also my first race and I am unsure of how much training I should be doing!
Ellesmere Port
Helsby
Dee Striders
West Cheshire AC
Tattenhall
Vale Royal
Those are just the ones on the south Wirral I can think off
Thanks for your help
It sounds as if you are well on the way though. Just remember to enjoy it !
Chat soon

One other piece of advice - if it's your first half, don't shoot off too fast at the beginning. Much better to try and do the first half at a very comfortable pace and if you have enough energy you can pick up the pace in the second half.
Good luck!
Friend of mine was running FLM in 2001, in aid of the special school where she worked.
About 2 weeks before the big day she had a rotten cold, was sitting in the staff room when someone said what great things they would be able to buy the kids with the money she was raising ! Almost put her off running for life, but she did say it was great motivation over the last couple of miles
Must dash will keep you updated! Thanks for the advice.
Anyway Ive bagsed the last place It's mine
and I will walk to make sure of it.

nice to hear from you, paw is on the mend, saw the physio last night and she says that it's OK to run ( didn't tell her that Ive already pounded a few miles).
