Decided today I’m going to train and run a half marathon with a few friends. Any advice for someone who is active but new to distance running?

One long run a week. Increase that by a mile each week until you get to about 10 to 12 mikes 2 weeks before the race. Many resources online for optimal training methods.
Also during the race plan for negative splits.
listen to something slow like a podcast for the first 3-4 miles while you’re getting warmed up too not start out too fast. Then reward yourself with chill music and then finally really high tempo music at the end.
