Look how far you've come since the first marathon training, the distance of your long run has jumped by more than 50%.
Consider what causes bad marathons. Mostly it's running too few or too many miles in training. Another common source of problems : running too much, too late. Don't try to pack in extra work the last week. It won't help. Nothing you do in training now will make your marathon better. But it's not too late to make it worse. It's never too late to hurt yourself, so don't.
Realise that training has a delayed-reaction effect. You don't draw your ability to run from what you run this week, but from a reservoir of fitness filled weeks and months earlier.
