The most common question I get from people back home is: What's China like? My website: http://www.owendennis.com China blog: http://www.owendennis.com/blo...
Assuming you can run 2 miles now at a nice easy pace (conversational), within 20 weeks you should be able to train up to being able to finish marathon distance at that nice easy pace (between 10 and 12 minute miles) or approximately 4 to 5 hours.
Course Matters. The average time it takes for a woman to jog a half-marathon is also dependent on the course. For example, it takes an average of 4 hours, 48 minutes for women to finish the Pike's Peak Ascent -- a 13.1-mile trek straight up Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs.Flatter courses obviously yield faster times.t's not quite the average, but it is a good representation of general performance. The median time for women running a half-marathon in 2012 was 2 hours, 19 minutes and 47 seconds. Since 2007, 2:19 and a varying number of seconds has been the median women's time.
