3-5 days just a half hour run speed 9-10 minute miles.
1 day a week run of 1-2 hours speed 12 minute miles
1 day sprinting half hour speed should be about 6-8 minute miles, 10 seconds fast 30 seconds slow.
3 days a week weight training for 1 hour.
Also one day a week I would hike for 2-3 hours, a hard hike!!!
I first started with the 5k, then moved up from there before doing the 1/2 marathon. Doing it this way made the 1/2 marathon no problem! Make sure you eat more and drink lots of water.
After your marathan take some time off, you will probably get sick right after the marathon, I took about 2 weeks off then got right back into it.
