Picking races for 26-27

Hi all, I used to run in my 20’s and early 30’s took off some time in my later 30’s, now in my 40’s and ready to make a comeback.

I’ve started a running group in my neighborhood and I also have a half marathon picked out for April 2027.

That’s really far off to me and I’m ready to pick some for 2026 too.

Right now, I’m at the beginning of training and could probably do a half as early as March/april/may 2026. However, I think it’s more likely I could do a 10k this spring.

** How often would you run a half before April 2027? How many should I try to do in 2026?**
