I'm in the same boat as Hats, first marathon coming up and the furthest I've ever run is just over a half marathon (running for two hours then stopping).
I was planning on going out and simply aiming to run for three hours, see where that got me to - I would expect around 30km, maybe slightly more.
Does this hold water as a plan to de-fear the marathon? The Runners World marathon time calculator puts my time (based off a 5k) at 3:16 for Stockholm, so my plan was to tuck in behind the 3:30 pacer and run within my abilities, as it were.
