Good afternoon.
I'm an amateur runner, not a professional but I'd like to run a half-marathon in spring. Please, tell me how many times a week I should train for?

Good afternoon.
In order to train for a half-marathon it's advisable to do at least three trainings a week. I think 4 times a week is an optimal number of trainings but if this frequency is not suitable for you for one reason or another, you should try to train 3 times a week. Also you should avoid double-training: training day should be followed by the rest day always.
In case of injury or illness you don't need to follow the training plan at all costs.
Good afternoon.
In May I ran my first half-marathon, the result was 2:01:13. In September it was 1:56:16.
Thank you.
Oleg Sergeevich, good afternoon.
I run half-marathons regularly, my personal record is 1:52:00.
I've finished running season and plan to return to running trainings in spring (in late March or in the beginning of April). I have several questions:
Thank you.
How many kilometers, on average, per week should I run when training for a half-marathon and marathon?
I'm a novice runner. This year in May I ran 10 km (time was 1:10) and finished my first half-marathon in Sochi in 2:16. How to improve my results?
I have lots of weight. At the moment I run 5 km every two or three days, plus I train in the gym. I limit my food consumption but sometimes I can break my diet and begin to eat a lot.
I would like to take part in a marathon.
How many times a week do I need to run (how many times a week and how long should my running training be)?
