George, I agree with you the run-walk-run method may help. But I would say it is not safe to run for 21k if you haven't finished anything more than, say, 14k. And there is only one week before the race. Good luck Manderlala.
i used this method when i prepared for 09 HKmarathon, the half-marathon. I am still using the run-walk-run method now when I have long run training. And I plan to use this method in the coming HKmarathon, this time it will be a full marathon.
Please search for "Jeff Galloway", or the mizuno USA website, you can find articles introducing the method. For beginners, the suggested rate shall be run for 3 min and walk for 1 min.

That's true. It is a bit risky to run long distance without adequate training. In my last Marathon race, 2 people died. One is also Asian and had the same last name (English translation) as me.
If you ask me, I would suggest one should try the half only after good training. But if that ching really wants to do it, I hope he can take frequent walk breaks. And at any point he doesn't feel well, it is ok to quit.
Did you carbo load the night before? Next time when 連提腳都無力, suck some candies (glucose).
On average, a half marathon may require about 1300-1400 cal and our body has about 2000 cal, assuming that we do have regular dinner the night before.
Carbo loading for a half is not a must. I didn't carbo load for my half at the beginning of Oct. Did drink some gatorade prior to the start, and some cytomax during the race. And my last 5k was the fastest in the 21.1k race.
I think it is more to do with the training than carbo loading.
