Oh for long runs

Add a mile for three weeks, then step back. So a sequence of long runs on successive sundays might look like: 5mi, 6mi, 7mi, 5mi; 8mi, 9mi, 10mi, 8mi and so on and then when you get to about 15 or so just do one every other week alternating with 12 milers. So 15-12-16-12-17-12-15-12-18-12-19-12-15-12-20-12-8 for your last few or something like that.

And seriously, don't go for a time, run to finish. Once you've done one you know what it takes and then for your second and subsequent if you feel like going for a time, go for it!
