I know this thread is 3 days old but hopefully we can get some discussion!

For me, I am building a base. I am running at about 25K per week, while very slowly increasing my mileage each week. My hope is to not get injured, so slow build-up is very important. After this I will be training for a half-marathon in April next year. That will be my first half-marathon. I am very excited for it, and I'm glad I have a lot of time to build up to that level!
