How many kilometers, on average, per week should I run when training for a half-marathon and marathon?

Good day!
Based on my experience I can say that weekly running distance shouldn’t be less than the length of a distance you are training for. So, you should run at least 45-50 km a week. An average running distance can be about 70 km per week.
Requirements to training for a half-marathon are lower and 40 km per week (at least 30 km) can be quite enough.
I have lots of weight. At the moment I run 5 km every two or three days, plus I train in the gym. I limit my food consumption but sometimes I can break my diet and begin to eat a lot.
I would like to take part in a marathon.
How many times a week do I need to run (how many times a week and how long should my running training be)?
Good afternoon.
Oleg Sergeevich, good afternoon.
I run half-marathons regularly, my personal record is 1:52:00.
I've finished running season and plan to return to running trainings in spring (in late March or in the beginning of April). I have several questions:
Thank you.
Good afternoon.
I'm an amateur runner, not a professional but I'd like to run a half-marathon in spring. Please, tell me how many times a week I should train for?
Good afternoon,
My height is about 2 meters. I know about recommendations on power trainings for tall people. Are there recommendations for such people if we say about long-distance running (half-marathon, marathon)?
