enjoy D and rather finish the half feeling strong than going out hard and dying over the last 3km
for some reason with marathon training, when the runners go into the shorter races (in their build-up), they tend to shoot off at a pace which would be well under their PB (even in the 10k races) and they achieve a PB but they are often shattered after the race (without knowing). This seems to be an area where the most damage is done, as they forget that the marathon is their actual goal.
You seem to be getting better and better and Pb's should follow however maybe consider starting at an even pace and then finish stronger
