Couch to Marathon Training Plan

As title says.. I am completely new to running. I know that most people would recommend running shorter distances first and building up an aerobic base, but I have a toxic 0 or 100 personality and something possessed me to sign up for a marathon 8 months from now.

I'm planning to use the Nike Run Club to train. I'm F, in my 30s, no children, and have time to be able to dedicate towards this goal.

I'm starting with just the "beginner" training plan (4 weeks) on NRC first - but if you had 8 months, how would you split up the NRC plans?

Would it make sense to do beginner >10K plan > half marathon plan > marathon NRC plan? (this would put me at 41 weeks so I'd have to shave a few weeks off somewhere (when I only have about 34 weeks from today).
