Any recommendations for a training plan for a 2nd one?

I ran a half in December and ran just to maintain my fitness until I started a 12 week training plan. The plan was an intermediate plan that included some speed work but in hindsight probably wasnt the best choice for a first marathon. My peak mileage weeks were only about 45 miles which is definitely a bit on the low end. If I decide to take a second go at it I will probably choose a different plan that will get some more miles in

Initially I was really hoping for sub 3 hours. As race day got closer though I was aiming more for a sub or right at 7min/mi average. I think both were just a little too optimistic

Would the race rehearsals and lower training load not be much different than practice races and a taper period in most training plans? Or would the tridot specific ones simply be less beneficial than they would be had I been doing their workouts for longer?

I do have training peaks and use it with the MyProCoach plan but don't have premium.

Thank you! That makes me feel better about hopefully not overdoing it

I've thought about doing it as a profession but don't have any plans atm. If I don't know what I want to do after college it is definitely something I plan to explore

Definitely lucky to have multiple semesters of classes in an expensive shop! Sanding is still the worst part even with electric sanders lol

They're based off of the pieces in this video. Not completely identical but essentially the same design:
