It depends on your level of experience and progress of your training through the season. But to become a runner and improve, you have to at least run 3 days a week (the most will be 6 days – we always recommend to take 1 day rest). These runs can be short (say 30 min), may combine walking with running or longer – all based on your ability level.
As much as you will need to understand and follow the program and continue to improve. You can send him questions via chat or email throughout the week, and join the weekly call to discuss any other topic and review your progress. You can also ask for additional 101 time if you have more questions.

Running coach Arnab Banerjee explains that the right plan will help you train all the individual aspects that will be put together on race day. A good schedule is a good way of getting through different types of session in a week, without putting your body at risk of becoming injured or overtrained.
Remember that nothing is achieved in a day, rather it's achieved constantly over time and is a journey.
A schedule will be written with the entire training session in mind, not just what you should be doing on your race day. For example, if you don't run easy enough during an easy run, you won't allow your body time to heal from the quality training you've been doing prior to that, which will increase your risk of injury.
