There are a lot of schedules out there but most agree that the most important part of your training is your weekly long run. Add a mile or two to your long run on alternating weeks so that, at the point a couple of weeks before the race, you have put in two 20 milers. Do not kill yourself on these long runs, stay hydrated and take breaks if you need to. During the week, you can get in a day of hillwork to build strength and on another day do mile repeats at the track to build speed. Don't forget to stretch every day. This will minimize the chance of injury from the increased milage. Some people do mega milage every week but this is subjective. What works for me is 30-40 miles per week. Good luck!
