I want to run a marathon but I am having trouble working out the pacing and figuring out what speed I will have to run to make it in a reasonable time. Has anyone here ever run a marathon or ridden in a long bike race or something where you had to do with kind of computation? (link)

Congrats on your decision to run a marathon! First of all it would be helpful to figure out what a "reasonable time" is for you, specifically. Ideally you would start out at a pace you can continue through the whole race. Don't overdo it the first half! It's better to run slower than you think you need to and be able to maintain the pace than fizzle the second half.
Here are a couple of helpful links:
