A half marathon is an excellent goal for runners of all levels. It’s a challenging distance that requires tailored training and a whole lot of grit to complete, without being as tough as running a marathon, which has a tendency to take over your entire life for months.
You still need a good chunk of time to prepare, however, and while how long it should take to train for a half marathon will depend on your fitness and running experience, it’s always good to have more time available.
