Reading 3:05:00
3:05:00 is what people choose after a marathon that missed three hours by a little, or when they refuse to round a goal down to 3:00. Pace is 7:03.4 per mile and 4:23.1 per kilometer. Those five minutes are the whole gap. They are not a strategy.
Even halfway is 1:32:30. The half chart steps by five minutes, so 1:30:00 is faster than this split and 1:35:00 is slower. Neither row is this marathon. Using the 1:30 row as a proxy makes the marathon look quicker than 3:05:00.
Negative by the default two minutes puts halfway at 1:33:30 and the return at 1:31:30. You do not gain a 3:00 finish by doing that. You only change where the five minutes over three hours are spent. Even pace keeps the extra time spread out and halfway at 1:32:30.
The 8 km starting assumption lines up with the 20-week marathon schedule. Treat 3:05 as the finish you are calculating, not as three hours with a permission slip to slow down.
