First, let's assume you don't have problems with hydration, alimentation, sleep, and so on.
Second, let's remember that different things work for different people.
[And third, what race distances are you looking at? And what are your race times?]
At ~8:20/mile, assuming that's significantly slower than the pace you run in races, you're really only getting general aerobic conditioning: Your movement pattern at 8:20 is likely very different from your movement at race pace. In that case, you can do alternate aerobic work and probably get a similar benefit. IF you have access to the equipment, you might even want to do something like an "alternate tetrathlon" on your 80min days: 20min for each of four kinds of aerobic exercise in rapid succession (exercise bike, rowing, uphill walking on treadmill, and water running, as one example).
But if that's not realistically available, I can think of two different strategies:
1) Break up your long day into two or even three sessions. I remember well one day when I was coming back from a layoff: 30min in the morning, 40min at midday, 20min in the evening. I got 90min of running at a decent (moderate) pace and felt great, whereas a 90min continuous run would have just been a slog, or even undoable.
2) Do the long run in one session, but insert walking breaks. (I know, I know: "Gallowalking! The horror!") Try running for three minutes, walking for 30 seconds, and repeating. The key here is to take walking breaks right from the beginning of your training run--the idea is to *avoid* fatigue, rather than feeling like you have to "earn" the walk by getting tired first.
Beyond that, consider going a bit faster on your long runs (or your long run/walks). I know it may sound counterintuitive, but I've coached some runners --who really felt terrible on a distance run--to try going faster. As soon as they sped up they felt more comfortable, ran more efficiently, and were less fatigued.
Finally, consider the possibility that you're someone who just doesn't benefit from long training runs (or maybe not even from any high-volume day of running and/or alternate-aerobic work)--even if you're training for a long race. The two activities are *not* identical, but when I couldn't run anymore and moved to 50km walking races, I found that my most helpful training was just to go out for an hour or a bit less, once (or twice or occasionally thrice) a day. Long single training walks made me too tired for the next couple days, and I often gained a pound or two as well; for the last marathon I walked, I don't think I ever went more than five miles in one training session, but in the race I did great.
Be willing to experiment. If you really aren't adapting to 80+min runs, your body is telling you something. Try something else!
