running/marathon

Question
I have been running about 5 miles once a week for about 1 month and running 2 to 3 miles 2 or 3 days a week for about 2 1/2 months. Would it be a bad idea to run in a half marathon with this level of "training"?

Answer
Hi Chandra
Absolutely not.It is not that you might not be able to,but the long term damage you could do not knowing your age could have many long term effects.It is not worth it for your long time future potential.Just the thought that you would ask me this question tells me a lot about you and your desires to really search and explore the unknown.You are the kind of athlete i really love to work with and get really laser focused on exploring what is possible if your committed.If you want to put a program together and do it right, it would be a great pleasure to help you explore your potential.You can call me any time here in albuquerque NM at 505 271 5909 from 6am on.If you have other questions just get in touch Chandra.

All the best to you
