So i've done the FLM in 4hours 20 (should have been quicker according to training but it was quite warm). Before this i've done several 10k's and 2 half marathons but what do i need to do now to maintain the level i've achieved. I don't have time to keep running 5 times a week and i can't commit to joining a club so how many runs and how far do people recommend? I'm 49 now so i've left it a little too late to break any records.

So .......
beer, fags and pies it is then !
Perhaps have a time and motion man come round your gaff for a week and work out how many runs you can fit in.
I work over 70 hours a week and still manage about 6 runs.
Hey, you are right about the friends. That's why I am on here a lot. In any case that post does read not as well as I had intended, so my apologies for that. Good luck.
Target a race 6 to 8 weeks in the future. You have just built an incredible endurance base so with one longish run a week, one tempo run a week and say a speed session and you will be able to take advantage of all the training you have completed before FLM.
Be careful about still eating the same volume of "fuel" post FLM - your body will no longer require all those calories.
Well done for getting round FLM in what were very hard conditions.
Soda.
Well, I could have qualified it really. And he doesn't know me so I think that was a fair reply Namaste.
In any case, maybe James can train shorter and harder, less times and watch his diet meticulously.
It's full weekend's fun, and an absolute blast. August. Take the family, and some food.
Incomparable fun.
