Conditioning mate, nothing more than that. The more you do this and linger distance the easier it becomes. Never easy, just easier.

Go for :

Monday - small light run
tuesday - rest
wednesday - 10k
thursday - rest
friday - small light run
saturday - 5k
sunday - long arse run... start off 8 miles (then gradually increase a few miles every couple/few weeks until you reach about 16-18 miles) - plan to hit 16-18 a couple weeks before Marathon - then decrease a few miles in the couple weekends before the big day

For my first 2 marathons my schedule was as follows.

Weds 10k or so, little longer maybe but not by much.
Saturday I’d do the occasional park run (5k)

Sunday LSR. Up to 21-22 miles a few weeks before the marathon itself, build it up a mile or so a week.
Monday, 4-5 mile recovery run.

Don’t start off too ambitious, build the distance on how you feel, loads of training plans available online, usually from 16 weeks before.
And above all enjoy it!!

Others can probably give you more advice @Stuuuuuu definitely can.
