Not Sheila, but I think that one 20 mile long run three weeks prior to your marathon should be enough. If you're injury prone, those extra long runs may be to your detriment.
Here's a really great long beginner marathon plan from Hal Higdon. You can still use the Galloway Method (run/walk) but follow the mileage on this plan. It's 30 weeks long so you could start in December or January and be ready for a fall race. Building a good, strong base with running will help with injury prevention. See below, just scroll down to see the plan. HTH. https://www.halhigdon.com/training-p...ovice-supreme/
