Maybe three sessions. YOU have built up the endurance to run 18 miles. If you can run 18 - you can run 26. If you keep after it you will do fine. Check out the Yasso 800 - This is copied from runners world - This deceptively simple workout has been used effectively by thousands of runners over the last decade. The goal, after several months of working up to it, is to run 10 x 800 meters in the same minutes:seconds as your goal time (in hours:minutes). If you want to run a 3:40 marathon, for example, you run your Yasso 800s in 3 minutes, 40 seconds. This workout isn't based on physiology; it's just a very tough effort that's got a mathematical appeal to it.
