Walking a half marathon – need training plan?


Am walking a half marathon in approx 14 weeks. Can anybody tell me where I would be able to get a decent 'training schedule' from – books, website, etc.

The trick is to work up to it gradually, so you don't injure yourself. Also, obviously, before you begin, make sure you have the proper socks, shoes, etc. Icing ankles after training never hurts either. For a schedule, see:
