I'm doing London this year too

Most recent marathon 3:12 and half marathon in 1:29.

My main advice, get a routine and stick with it. The weather looks worse from the window and I always have a CBF just before I run. Get the shoes on and go and stick to your plan/routine as much as you can. Of course, if you need to take a break, listen to your body. Stretch regularly, have a good warm up routine and don't try and train through an injury. If you're increasing your mileage, do it steadily, don't try and go to 100% in week one of training and eat/sleep enough to run/recover properly.

My approach has been easy miles midweek (total ~50km over 3 or 4 days), a bit of tempo on Saturday (e.g a parkrun) and then long run on Sunday (20+ km). I'll try and do 5 days a week, 6 days If I'm feeling good.
I'm in my build phase at the moment, so everything easy (4:50m/km pace) and my long run
