Since you've got the patience to think about improvements over the long term, IMO you don't need too much structure in your training, just more miles, and steady progression. So 4 runs is better than 3, a 10 mile long run is better than a 6 mile long run (but build gradually), etc. Keep things interesting with a parkrun every other week, which is often enough to chart progress. Aerobic x-training like cycling and swimming will certainly complement the running but won't help you improve quite as quickly.
Berlin marathon is less than 7 weeks away and I've managed to run 97 miles in a week without breaking anything. Encouraging!
