I am going to be starting a 12 week MAF program after Philly's marathon. This year I averaged so far 38 miles per week and during 18 weeks plus another 8 weeks (2 marathon) the average was 43 peaking at 55 miles per week with 4 long runs of 20 miles. After the 12 week MAF I am going to train 11 weeks for a Half Marathon and then 12-28 weeks for 1,2 or 3 marathons. (we will see) The half marathon training I plan on peaking at 46 miles per week with an average of 37 miles. For the marathon training after the Half I plan on using PFit'z 18/70 but probably will cut it down to 18/65 that is peaking at 65 miles for the week the average probably closer to 55. Question : when doing the 12 week MAF how many miles should I look to run per week (peaking at) and what should my long run get up to. I am thinking peaking at 50 with an average of 38 miles per week. Long run peaking at 15. I will be doing minutes instead of miles, but still need a benchmark. Should I be doing more or less? Thanks,

No one can tell you that. Do what you can do. Start with Keep in mind that you want have a solid base before doing this training, and only do the 70 mpw plan if you can do AT LEAST 70 using MAF. Good luck. --Jimmy

Here is the answer I wanted. So I am looking at Pfitz plan but not at 70 but 65. So I plan on hitting 65 under MAF but then going into HM training peaking at 46. I should have a great base for HM training and Full after that. Thanks,

I've done the Pfitzinger training. Come taper time, you're ready for three weeks of complete rest. :>) --Jimmy

I am doing Pfitz now. I ran Toronto using 18/55 and now his multiple marathon program 8 weeks for philly. I felt really good after Toronto and really just jumped right into his multiple program.
