Hi I currently have a base of 14 miles for my long run and recently did a 1/2 marathon in 1:37. I run 4x a week 20-25 miles per week I still have 19 weeks until mk marathon and I'm going to follow the intermediate plan in the latest rw mag. But I have read that you should do 4 or 5 long runs 20+ miles. Should I just tweak the long run distances on the plan? I'm training for a 3:25 marathon so in theory my longest run should last for 4 hours? I struggled in the last 4 miles of my previous 2 marathons!!

A four hour run seems too slow - that would be what - an extra 2 mins per mile on top of your long run pace ?
How many long runs did you do for the other marathons ?
Thanks both defo going to run 9 min miles and do at least 5 long runs. Run 4 times and prob increase to 5 runs. Does the amount of runs per week matter as I focused on the long run earlier on in the year?
Next time slow the long runs down ?
3.25 seems a tough goal unless your half marathon time improves. Are you racing one before your marathon ?
