Run Walk?

I'm considering a run/walk for the Marathon.  My goal is 5 hours.  I found this run/walk calculator to help me with the pacing.  Here are my results.

To run 26.2 miles in 5:0:0 using the 8/2 run/walk technique with a walking pace of 16:00 per mile your running phase pace should be 10:41 minutes per mile.
To meet your goal you could also use other run/walk schemes.

For the given run/walk scheme, you need to run the given pace during your run phase to meet your goal:
Run walk scheme: 9/1 Run Phase Pace: 11:06 Run walk scheme: 8/2 Run Phase Pace: 10:41 Run walk scheme: 7/3 Run Phase Pace: 10:12 Run walk scheme: 6/4 Run Phase Pace: 9:38 Run walk scheme: 5/5 Run Phase Pace: 8:55

    Just a side note, but with my garmin 910 you can program it to tell you to walk after 8 minutes
