I'm running my first half marathon in one month.

I haven't done any marathon specific training ever, but I run and bike a few times a week.

Every night I run the same 1.5 - 2 mile loop at a 7:30 pace and I don't smoke. I've ran a handful of timed 5k's this summer, I've done a sprint triathlon, and I've done a 30 mile bike race.

Does anyone have any tips on a 4 week plan for a half marathon?

Today is September. 7th and the half marathon is on October. 7th.

Cheers and thank you for any advice you have to offer!

When during the 13.1 race, cut your stride in half and you will do a lot better with endurance. Also carb up 2 days before the race.

I've done 3 halfs and 2 fulls. The full is no joke. You literally half to take walking steps to survive!
