Hi Kevin, great progress from you. Congrats. Below 4h ? That is quite daring for the first Marathon and if you are not from Kenia
;)
Sounds like you are pushing your training levels quite hard. Be careful with your shins ! no joke here !
This is advice I should have had been given earlier in my running career: Stretch !
Especially the calves as they strain the shins when they are tense.
You should be able to comfortably run marathon distance per week before any aspiring time training
