Hey there,
Yes I have been keeping the long runs going at least every 3 weeks and have now been averaging 90k/wk since June so should be well placed for the final marathon push.
Marathon is def. still the goal - I'll be doing Abingdon for the third time on Oct 21st with the aim of qualifying for London again next year and hopefully getting sub 2:40.
Current plan is to kick off 2k's on Thurs (33-33:30 paces sounds great) and work through a full cycle modified for Marathon (Marathon Paced runs on Saturday followed by 20-32k long runs on Sun). Will also throw in a threshold session on the Thurs after the 1k's + a couple of Park runs. Will for sure add in rolling hills and will keep the 1hr/15k aerobic days to maintain mileage.
Did a 26k fell run today (1,000+ meters climbing) which felt great. No muscle soreness even with fast/technical descending so the legs are clearly in a good place
