I managed about 80 miles last month.

I am trying to get 1 to 2 short runs about 5k and park run on most Saturday's. Yesterday parkrun was in the middle of my long run 13 miles. The Brighton Marathon is in 10 weeks how far is should I be running at this point?

Sounds like you are on course. Have you got a plan to follow?

Most events have a training plan linked to their website. If not there are loads online.

I’ve downloaded a Hal Higdon plan. It fits quite well into my existing runs.

For a full mara plan reference, I just looked at my 2019 20 week plan at the 10 week mark and it called for a 50k week, including a 21k long run, so you seem to be in the right zone. Are you running to a plan? And you are running a full, right?

My running club has one and I have been listening to the George Lamb podcast. I have got a half in 2 weeks. Next week it is 14 to 16 miles.
