How Long Does It Take to Train for a Half-Marathon?
Question:
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.

First Marathon
Question:
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:
- What date should I choose for my first marathon's start considering that I plan to return to running trainings in March and let's assume that I'll start to train for a marathon since 1st April? I would like to prepare good, it doesn't mean quickly because my main goal is to run a marathon without injuries.
- Could you give me some recommendations on training plan: frequency of trainings per week, weekly running volume? How will the weekly running mileage change every month?
- What's number of speed trainings a week? How many long runs should I do?
Thank you.

10 km Personal Record, How To Train And Increase the Distance To 21 km?
Question:
Good afternoon.
I practice running since September. I ran 10 km in 1:09 yesterday in Sochi. My best result so far ... It was very hard race.
I can not figure out how to train further. Should I increase the running distance or just try to break the 1 hour limit.
My goal is endurance development and 21 km race in the long term.
Thank you for the opportunity to know the answer.
