I was thinking of something along those lines as Jack Daniels recomend 1min of rest between miles at 'half-marathon' effort
I'm sorry, but that is a horrible extrapolation of Daniels' philosophy.
Marathon pace is just a bit zippier than easy pace for most mortal runners. Anyone with any aerobic base, at all, can do this safely for miles at a time. They don't need the endurance that comes from marathon training, they can do a few miles today. It's not about being trained for a marathon - it's just a pace. If someone needs to stop completely to recover from 1000m at what they think is their M-pace, they are running way faster than their M-pace.
Marathon pace is limited by endurance and glycogen depletion, not from getting winded like T-pace (which you mistakenly refer to as HM-pace, which is only true for elite runners).
Stopping and resting after doing M-pace running is something that's in the same universe as Gallowalking, maybe even easier.
