Hey,

If you post this in the Marathon/Triathlon thread you will get plenty of advise there!

How long have you been doing 0 miles? The general advice would probably be that doing too much too soon would be asking for trouble. But doing a half in 8 minute mile pace this year means you must be in reasonable shape. Depending on how long you've had off and what you were doing before the half, I'd just get out there for an easy run every second day, starting with about 30-40mins and gradually build up. See how you feel before progressing further. And no matter how good you feel don't progress too much week by week - you might pay for it a few weeks down the line.
