Just had a read and I'm quite tempted by the 'Marathon 3' plan on there as it includes in some cross training. Having done as much swimming as running this year, and 4x more time on the bike than swimming and running combined then that's quite appealing.
Last month the longer runs have been 13, 10, 13, 13 milers so I should be able to slot in to the plan...

Hal Higdon plans are very good I think. I used the "Intermediate 2" plan for my first marathon. Fairly straightforward for when you're building up mileage, nothing too complicated so you can use it as a template, and spice it up with the odd tempo or interval session once you've got some fitness going.
I'm 4 races into a period of 6 cross country races in 7 weeks. Fourth in the Kent County Vets (over-40) on Saturday, so just outside the medals (81 runners) but we romped away with team gold (four-to-score). The wind was epic.
