I have a few suggestions, but keep in mind I've only ever run the Wintergreen Super (2014-2016) and only made it into the top 50% of finishers this year.
First, the two people on our team that performed best, both swore that most of what they did this year was 30 minute HIIT sessions. Specifically they both did Insanity Max :30 (they don't really know each other, so they weren't doing this together in anyway). I'm not advocating that particular program, but they said they felt like they could keep attacking the course even late in the race when I certainly could not. Especially in Ottawa winters, this could be a good way to train.
Pull-ups. I recommend getting a good wall mounted pull-up bar (I have mine up in my garage because the walls are taller there) and some appropriate pull-up straps. That's just an example link, but I do recommend getting a couple of straps including the 10lb strap so you can step up/down your assistance as you go. This is how I went from no pull-ups to 3 in about a month. Every other day whether you are working out or not, go do pull-up sets throughout the day. Try for a minimum of 3 sets (I started with sets of 5 with the green band, (I'm 225lbs)) but just throw in sets whenever you can every other day. You'll hurt at first, but then they will start getting easier, so reduce your assistance. Every week on a set day, try to do a chin-up (palms facing toward you). If you can do a chin-up, do as many as you can and always start your sets with as many chin-ups as you can and finish with pull-ups with assistance for the set. After you start doing chin-ups, once a week, test to see if you can do a pull-up (palms away). Repeat until you can do pull-ups. At this point I like to just do as many pull-ups without assistance as I can do each pull-up day in sets of whatever size, but I'm sure you can be more methodical. Meanwhile, the time hanging from the bar will help with your grip strength as well. Once you are doing 5 pull-ups, start intentionally pausing between them to add hang time.
