Training for a marathon is such an individual thing. I only run on Saturdays and Sundays and have completed 3 marathons in the past year.
However, if I had a time goal, I would consider training 3 or 4 times per week and increasing my weekly mileage.
With the All Women's Marathon coming up in October, I will be adding a Wednesday morning training run to my schedule to increase my weekly mileage and lower my overall race time.
From your description of your current training schedule, it sounds like you are on track for completing the marathon. Overall finish times though are hard to predict... there are too many variables - the course, weather, your overall health and conditioning on race day (overtrained/undertrained/ill), your inate ability for marathon running and how motivated you are to complete the race and in the time you are aiming for.
The marathon is as much mental as it is a physical race. Motivation to me plays a huge role in how well we end up doing.
