If you're doing 3 marathons in 3 days providing you have a good base of training what is the min / max long runs you need to do. Say for a novice marathon schedule the long run goes up to 20 miles, would you have to do as a min 20 miles on 3 consecutive days. Is that too little? Or is it too much and say 2 days at 20 (ish) miles then another day time on feet at another sport.
