derele, it seems like you doing a lot of good work and if there is one bit of advice I can give is don't look for results from your training, rather simply do the sessions without measuring the result associated to performance.
From my experience the athletes who felt great in training and a few races before the event often did not feel great on race day
the marathon is a tough quest [not my favourite distance to coach - this is due to how runners respond - fast and furious is always nice]
do take care of the shinsplints, I am sure you aware of the shinsplint article on Time-to-Run
thanks for the feedback
