One of the things I noticed is that the training, overall, was VERY boring. It was just this nonstop flat ramping up of mileage that seemed to last forever.
Some good advice/info presented so far. You may want to take a look at Galloway's run/walk/run program. He and his wife recently ran/walked the Huntsville marathon in under 5 hrs by running 4 minutes and walking 1 minute the whole 26.2. They smiled the whole way.
