Reading 3:20:00
3:20:00 is a frequent "I have one marathon on the books" target. 7:37.7 per mile (4:44.4 per kilometer) is specific: it is not the 3:15 conversation and it is not the 3:30 one. The page is for that gap.
Halfway is 1:40:00 at even pace, and that clock is the 1:40:00 line on the half marathon pace chart. A 1:45 half is five minutes slower than this midpoint. Doubling 1:45 produces 3:30, not 3:20:00.
Shift to the default negative split and halfway becomes 1:41:00, with 1:39:00 left. You would pass halfway slower than the 1:40 row and need the faster half to repair it. Even pace stays on 1:40:00, which is the 3:20 line.
Match this finish to the 20-week marathon schedule when an easy 8 km is already ordinary. The weeks are not aimed at a first continuous long run.
