    Just looking for guidance on how a typical week of mileage is best is structured before getting into the main marathon training cycle. obviously a long run on weekend but wondering how best to build up mileage to target a sub 3 marathon. would the following be a good breakdown?

    mon 10 miles
    tues 6 miles
    wednesday 6 miles
    Thursday 12 miles
    fri none gym day
    saturday 8 miles
    sunday 18 miles

    currently 40 miles a week over 5 days is about as much i get in max on a good week. but ive been told anything less than 60 is wasting your time for a marathon if aiming for sub3 unless you have your blessed with super genes or talent.

    interested to hear what has worked well for others. ideally 5 days but im guessing 6 days willbe needed per week. not interested in doubles. havent the time for that.

    What does your week look like now, and what are the immovables in the week?

    And what kind of races are you doing now, in what times?
    60 miles a week isn't a requirement, and you don't need to be superhuman, but it depends on how much you need to improve, and where.
