Reading 3:30:00
3:30:00 is the finish this site uses when it shows the math, and it is also a common first goal that is still ambitious. Even pace is 8:00.6 per mile and 4:58.6 per kilometer. Seeing it in the formula table does not make it a beginner default.
Halfway is 1:45:00, exactly the 1:45:00 row on the half marathon pace chart. Same pace both directions. A half at 1:45 and a marathon at 3:30 share the pace and not the fatigue. The half page is the cross-check, not a prediction.
Even pace is 1:45:00 at halfway. The default negative margin, two minutes, makes the first half 1:46:00 and the second 1:44:00. On a flat course that is a modest lean. It is not gentler than even pace, and it is not the row printed in the pace chart.
The worked example on the formulas and the long-run weeks meet on the 20-week marathon schedule. Use that schedule when you can already run about 8 km. The beginner schedule is a different start, from jog-and-walk, and it is the wrong match for a runner who is already calculating 3:30.
