I used Hal Higdon Novice 2, twice, with great success :)

Even skipped the cross-training (extra rest day), and shuffled some of the Saturday stuff around and it still worked a treat.

I decided I’m gonna do it. I’m almost two full training cycles out from the first half and I figure, I’ll start on novice 2 week 3, run it through and see how it goes. Depending on how it feels I’ll either run nov2 again or I’ll look at the intermediate program. I feel I’m a bit beyond the first weeks of nov2 (current long run 9 miles) but also I just pushed myself a bit too hard on a 13 day run streak so maybe I need to take it easy on myself, not hard, and avoid injury.

If I’m hurt I won’t be running any halfs let alone finishing them!
