Running my first marathon. What happens when i place in the top 50?
The key to keeping going is to pace yourself. You should know what speed you can keep up for half an hour, so run at that speed, if you find at 25 minutes you guessed wrong and still have more to give then through it out there.Your question confuses me though, you say how to keep you energy for a marathon, and than ask how you maintain it for half an hour. There isn't a chance you'll finish a marathon in half hour, not even the greats can do that!
It just sounds like you lack fitness, just keep practicing, through in one long run a week, when you should idealy be out for between 2 and 3 hours, it doesn't matter if you can't run all this, walk when you need to, this will build your endurance. If you do need to walk only let yourself walk for a minute or 2 at a time, then run as far as you can, or you'll settle into walking too much which won't increase your fitness as much. It doesn't matter if you do 5min Run, 2 min walk; 30sec run, 2 min walk; Just run for as long as you can between walks, this time will improve with time.

So, after ten minutes you get tired? There is a good plan for your if you follow it. First, have a journal ready so that you can document your runs. Then, say, for about ten minutes, do a quick stretch warm up. Get your behind down on the floor, sit and spread your legs wide. Reach over to your right foot, and stretch for 8 seconds count. Do the same 8 count for the middle, then hold your left foot and stretch. Get the picture? Do a similar stretch for your arms, then 20 sit ups and 20 push ups. After you do these warm ups, run for five minutes.The next day keep documenting your stretches and this time increase running for 10 minutes. Do this for a week.
Then after a week, increase for 15, then next week 20. Until you get to 30 minutes. With the warm ups and the increments in time, you will train your body to look like Rocky. Good luck.
