I’m getting ready to run a half-marathon. My longest run has been 12.5 miles. I have had to do the bulk of my training indoors because of safety concerns in my area and lack of time. I ran outside a few times and I am able to complete the same amount of miles outdoors as the treadmill. My concern is that I haven’t been as consistent on other shorter runs. How worried should I be?

I took up marathon running 2 years ago. I think the reason so many have choosen this route is weight control including myself. My first marathon in 2008, I had only 4 months of training. It was brutal, I went very slow, but made it within the required timeframe to receive my medal. I’m about to run my second one in a week and feel my ability to feel better of my long runs this year is an indication that it really does take a long time to prepare yourself for such an event….especially when you are a bit older. I’m looking forward to improving each year.

I’ve been running for the past 6 months or so, have done 10km distances in the past.

At the present – with 9 weeks to go I have run 18 miles as my longest run – took me approximately 3 hours. Towards the end I thought the end was nigh, my legs hurt, I was hungry, could only taste salt etc…

I didn’t drink anything during that run, basically because I usually feel a bit sick if I drink on a run, but when I’m doing big distances I might need to rethink that.

At present I am planning to run 5 days a week, with the longest runs being 20 miles. Tapering down towards the end.

The key for me is good music, totally distracts me from everything I’m going through, how noisy my breathing is, if my legs are hurting…
