4 months is standard going from nothing at all to a full marathon.

The hardest part of a marathon tends to be the training, injuries while training for your first marathon are very common.

If you want to do one increase your mileage slowly and listen to your body.

General wisdom is you can increase your long run safely by one mile per week.
