two quick things - when you're thinking about a person, you need to use こと - so in this case, 彼女のことを思えば...
Also, the dictionary form is 思う, not 思える (that would be the potential form - 'can think') ^.^

Sorry, this is more for the English translation. Instead of behinder, maybe just 'slower'? Or 'the more behind you become'? I'm almost positive 'behinder' isn't a word XD

When this expression is used with する verbs, the noun that する is linked to in the ば part of the sentence does not need to be repeated in the ほど part.

E.g. 掃除をすればするほど、部屋が綺麗になっていく。

I agree with fareastfurafaro about 'であればあるほど’ being another valid construction for 'na' adjectives with this structure. In the Intermediate Japanese textbook, it shows that as the main way to use this grammar with 'na' adjectives. Would it be worth adding it to the construction examples? Here is the exact example it gives: 説明はかんたん[b][u]であればあるほど[/u][/b]いい。 [color=green](Simpler explanations are better)[/color] It doesn't even put anything in front of the second 'ある' in the sentence.

There's something that keeps puzzling me about this construction.
ば~ほど in combination with verbs mostly implies
- frequency of performing a certain action => "the more (often) one does..." or
- time spent on that action => "the more (years) one studies..."
But those verbs are always on their own and nothing is mentioned about the quality of that action. What happens if I want to attach an adverb to the verb? How would I express things like "the faster s.o. runs", "the harder s.o. studies", "the higher the sun rises" etc. with focus on the attributive aspect of the action?
Thanks

You can absolutely use this grammar with adverbs to further describe the manner of the action.
I would translate the ones you mentioned as:
速く走れば走るほど。。。 - The faster one runs...
もっと勉強すればするほど。。。 - The harder one studies...
太陽が高くなればなるほど。。。 - The higher the sun rises...
