First marathon - is 22 weeks of Runna too much?

Doing Chester this year and Runna has built me a 22-week plan. That feels like a long time to stay focused and injury-free, especially as a first-timer.
For context: I’m 26, 82kg, ran a 1:49 half last year. Hoping to go sub-4 for the full.
Two things I’m trying to figure out:
• Is 22 weeks longer than it needs to be? Would a shorter block be smarter?
• Is sub-4 a sensible target off a 1:49 half, or am I being optimistic?
Keen to hear from anyone who’s used Runna for a marathon block or run Chester.

Speculate and wait? Or Buy Now?

I really like the idea of the Framework 13 pro but storage and RAM are just too expensive at the moment. Would you recommend to purchase now with the high costs and upgrade when costs fall or wait 6-12 months to purchase the framework 13 pro when HOPEFULLY the costs of these components fall.
