Is there any training schedule that the CP brain trust can recommend? And am always up for any tips as well.

Your two best weapons are going to be sleep and water.
Water, water, water is the key. I use electrolytes like nuun as well.
Switch your shoes every 500km.
And....don't run with music. You won't be allowed it during the race so get used to not having it.
Good luck and have fun!
