2:45:00 marathon pace
A 2:45:00 marathon (42.195 km · 26.2188 mi) is 6:17.6 per mile and 3:54.6 per kilometer at even pace. Change the time, the margin, or the distance below.
Reading 2:45:00
Holding 2:45:00 means staying near 6:17.6 per mile (3:54.6 per kilometer) for the full 42.195 km. That is a racing effort for people who already finish halves well under 1:25, not a first marathon built from walk breaks.
At the same even pace the half is 1:22:30. On the half marathon pace chart the 1:20:00 row is faster than this split and 1:25:00 is slower, so 1:22:30 is not one of those labeled rows. A half raced at 1:25 does not by itself show you can hold 2:45:00 once the distance doubles.
The calculator's default negative split gives the first half 1:23:30 and the second 1:21:30. At this speed, starting a full two minutes behind even pace (1:22:30) is a large gift to give away. The chart row to pin is the even one.
Someone already running easy for 8 km can hang this pace on the 20-week marathon schedule. That schedule is a week structure from an existing base. It does not add the speed work a 2:45 effort needs.

Split times are rounded to the nearest second from the cumulative clock, so they add up to 2:45:00. A row marked halfway is the split that contains the halfway point.
