I disagree with suggestions of putting back-to-back long ones together on the weekends. You have a much greater risk of injury doing it this way, I believe. You have run long enough where the distances you've mentioned (26-28), that far prior to the race, should not create any problems for you. I would suggest sticking closer to 26, but I like the approach. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
