don't do a full marathon distance in training! well done on taking 10 min off your scheduled time over the half marathon. going into a race with lowered exceptions also helps to prevent starting off too fast. A conservative pacing often gives better finish times. don't make the mistake and overadjust your marathon target time after todays positive indication. i dont know you and your running history but the figures are very tempting to aim for a sub 4:00 marathon finish but that could be a big mistake.
