don't get into the mindset that you have to run so many miles in a week. many endurance athletes get into the habit of just running and running and thinking it's doing them good when in reality they are probably wasting their time after so many miles.
I'd say hit the gym at least 2-3 times a week focusing on intervals, overhead squats, deadlifts, lunges, power cleans, and front squats (go heavy, don't go light, the point of the gym is to strengthen muscles to offset any weak areas, and also to prevent from injuries) . when you get within 2 months of the marathon go down to 1-2 days in the gym, while keeping the same distance. then a month out do mostly running and rest 3-4 consecutive days before the marathon
