Time: 20 minutes
Speed: 8kmh
Effort: 05/10

Tuesday
"Tempo run"
Time: 30 minutes
Speed: 10mins at 10kmph, 5mins at 7kmph, 10mins at 10kmph, 5mins at 7 kmph
Effort: 08/10

OP here, think I'll change the 'Long run' to a distance, not a time. That way I can see myself improve. Good idea? Maybe... 7km? A half marathon is 13.. should I be aiming to run this in my training, or keep the training below the total distance?

A half marathon is 13 miles, not 13km. A half marathon is about 21km.

Remember to have a warm bath after each training session.

Change time into distance for sure.
I trained for a full marathon in three weeks before (also starving myself except protein and losing 20 lb in the meantime), and my schedule went something like:

Day 1: 3 mi
2: 5 mi
3: 2 mi
4: 6 mi
5: 3 mi
6: 8 mi
7: 3 mi
8: 10 mi

etc. Everyone's going to say to give yourself a day to rest/repair, but eh, sure it's more comfortable but it's not like this is going to kill you. Even if you feel like shit, go run your next day and you'll come out feeling fine right after. Watch out though... once you hit 9 or 10 miles for the first time straight through, it's going to kick your heart and lungs' ass and you'll be discouraged as hell. But the next long-distance day, you'll find yourself running a few miles further, and that's the real magic of endurance training.
