Second week of maf training. Pretty much 12+ minute miles. Coming from run/walk marathon training. Last one took 4:45. I'd like to improve that.
My question is how many days a week for running? Galloway used maybe 4 days/ week, but I feel so good after running w/ mad that I'm upping that. Any suggestions?
Consistently Slow
I normally do 5 days a week when marathon training. What is your weekly mileage?
Run until the trail runs out.

I guess I don't know for sure, I've been going by time. Probably about 25-30 right now. I've also gone 5 days a week using maf. I just love how I feel like I should go for a run right after I go for a run.
I live in in eastern North Dakota, very flat and the roads are mostly gravel/dirt. I love it. The roads are also in a mile by mile grid, so it's hard to not know how long each mile takes. Between 12 and 13 minutes every mile. Slow, but very comfortable and easy.
I used a marathon walkers training schedule for the last marathon. It only had a schedule for ramping up weekend long runs, and I ran as I felt during the week. I ran three times over 5 hours in the six weeks prior to the last marathon. The marathon itself felt great. I had just read a Stu Mittleman book and took it easy on all my running portions during the race. It went well, never tired for the first time ever in a marathon.
I thought i may may be decently aerobic ally trained before I started maf training, but I guess not. I've signed up for a marathon in Sundance Wyoming in September. I thought I'd use the same schedule for training, but use maf training.
Thoughts?

I just used this framework and ran little during the weeks.
i think 5 days a week using maf will work fine with this framework.

The schedule looks to light weight.
I changed the 22 miler to 20. New school. Stop at mile 20.
Thank you , sir!
