Aerobic Effort
By this I mean harder than easy pace but a sustainable effort, do not
come too close to the anaerobic threshold, think goal marathon race
pace
Hill Training
This should be a continuous run, more or less easy pace, on the hilliest
route possible, close to aerobic effort going uphill and focus on stride
downhill
Down Week
The week of the 23rd-1st is meant to give your body some rest to adapt
to the training, take it easy overall but still get the two quality
workouts in

Yasso 800s
You may have heard of this workout, go at goal marathon race pace,
the idea is that average of 10 reps predicts your time (3:30 800 = 3:30
marathon)
Longer Long Runs
Starting with the 12 mile Long Runs, plan to eat and drink something
during the run to get your body used to what you will eat/drink during
the marathon
Supplementary Exercises
With the mileage starting to really increase this month, make sure to
stretch and do small strength exercises as necessary to avoid injury

Repeat Efforts
Keep this run well below goal marathon race pace, it should not be a
hard effort at all, just slightly more than an easy day
Final Two Weeks
The last two weeks should be very easy to allow your body to recover
and reenergize, dont hesitate to adjust the schedule or take a day off
if needed

I would suggest trying to do your long runs at the same time of day as
the marathon, so that you can simulate your race routine and be
prepared
