Don't "bank time" in the first half of the marathon. Running faster than target pace will help you deplete your glycogen stores and you'll bonk sooner. I am told by running gurus that for every minute you "bank" in the first half, you pay for with 3 minutes later in the same race. Not what you want.
I think most non-elite runners use the first few miles of the marathon as the warm-up. The most my friends who run will do is a half mile jog or walk down to the start, followed by a good stretch.
