    I started running 3-4 miles 5 times a week about a year ago mainly for
    weight loss. Now I'm running also for fun and have recently switched
    to 3 days 5.5 - 6 miles, 3 miles of intervals, and about every other
    week 3 miles of hills. I ran my first 5k about a month ago in 23:52

    Is a 20 minute 5k a reasonable goal and roughly how long
    would this take to do? What could I change in my runs to
    help do this.

    I'd also like to run a half marathon in December with the
    goal of just finishing. Do a have a shot at doing this with
    my current workout? What would you suggest changing?
    Thanks, Brian

    I'm just a newbie, too, but I can answer the last half of
    that question; It would take 20 minutes.

    True, but for some reasone it always takes me slightly
    longer than 20 minutes.
