I love Hal Higdon's plans.  Here's one of his novice half-marathon plans.
 
When is your race?  The best thing you can do is just begin working on getting the miles done.  The more miles you run, the faster you will naturally become.  For this, I wouldn't really recommend speed training (that's how I hurt myself before my first half), but it may be helpful to hit some hills and whatnot!  You can do it.  

I currently run in Brooks Adrenalines.  I overpronate, so my feet appreciate the support.  I always recommend that people find a dedicated running store that does gait analysis when buying running shoes.  They will analyze your run and recommend a variety of shoes of different makes and price ranges that best suit YOUR running style.
 
I go to a local store here in OKC called Red Coyote Running and Fitness.  It's also a good place to go meet other like-minded runners.  Many of those local running stores also host a variety of running clubs, which usually welcome runners of all ability levels!
 
Remember, if you run you're a runner.  

Hello everyone!  My name is Kris.
 
I am a successful graduate of C25K and C210K.  I started my journey in February of 2013 and since then have lost 150 lbs and went from running for 42 seconds to training for my first marathon in October!
 
ZenLabs has been a HUGE part of my success!  I often send them updates via Facebook, and I think I always mention how appreciative I am of their apps.
 
I'm so happy they've opened up a community, and I look forward to being an active part of it; helping others who were in my place to achieve great success of their own!  
 
Good luck to everyone, get out and crush it!  YOU CAN DO IT!

I completed the C25k app last summer and it felt amazing! My goal this summer is to finish the C210k program. So far so good. I lost 40 pounds last summer, but still have another 40 to go. I'm just hoping I can drop another 10-20 running 10k's. I couldn't be happier with how healthy I'm becoming because of these programs.

Hi
 
My name is Dana.  I will be starting Week 3 of the Couch 2 5k tomorrow.  I have never ran--ever!  I'm 49 years old and my son-who is training for Ultra-races talked me in to trying it.
 
I love the Zen Lab apps and all the support and motivation the give.

C25K helped me start my running journey!  Since becoming a graduate of the C25K app, I have since completed the 10K app and will be starting the half marathon app as well. I have completed 4, 5K's and logged MANY miles on my own since the beginning.  I have lost 45 lbs. and  have never felt better! I'll be turning 50 next year & will also be doing my first half marathon, cannot wait for this!  Thank you so much Zen Labs for creating these programs for someone like me who was new to the running world ~ I am forever grateful!!!
