My suggestion would be to continue to make T/TR speed focused workouts. Do Tempos, Fartleks, and Intervals on these two days. Recover on Wednesday with a bit longer slower run. Your long run on the weekend should be done at 45 seconds to 1.25 minutes per mile slower than you target marathon pace. As your long run mileage increases, running them too fast will hurt your ability to do effective speed work. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
