run 3 or 4 times a week. one speed/interval session, one hills or tempo, one easy, approx 5k /half hour a go. Plus one distance run per week, increasing by 10% of overall running distance per week. (NB this does not have to be 10% of the distance run - you can count the other runs in too.)

Simples - go to asics.co.uk and signup to MyAsics. You'll be able to create a training plan to prepare you for your HM. If you tell it how fast you're running now (5k, 10k whatever) it will predict a finish time for your HM and give you a range of short runs, longer runs and intervals. It can even email you and remind you of what run you have coming up.

Good luck for your training, take it steadily and don't get hurt.

I personally run one long run a week adding an extra 15 mins (less if you can't) a speed podcast but completing a 5 k and then a 10k run at the end of the week. In between runs if you do plenty of stretch and flex and perhaps a bit of rowing. I think that would be all you need. I'm up to 25k on my long runs and this is how I achieved it - no great times - just for fun! Enjoy and good luck!
