In your 1st marathon did you run it all or did you run/walk?

the reason I ask is because one of my goals is to do a 1/2 marathon. The half marathon I plan on doing is the Melbourne Marathon in October, so I have lots of training time to build up my distance.
I currently run 10km.
I recently found a training program with the aim to do a half marathon in 2hr20mins. I was looking closely at it today and 'race' day is run 4 mins walk 1, repeat x amount of times.
Now I'm contemplating to do the half marathon this way, or just to train to run the whole thing.

Thoughts?

    I'm doing my first half in two weeks. I have been training at 4:1, and that is how I am planning to run the half.
