One thing to keep in mind with these pace calculators is that not everyone is the same type of runner and you cant just extrapolate across the board. Some are milers that can stretch to a 5k well but fall off hard on a 10k etc.
I think the majority of people can't just extrapolate a 10k time to a marathon, you need to be the right type of runner doing the right type of training for it to even apply. I havent done a marathon, but my projected time based on 5k/10k PRs would be much more impressive to me than my 5k.
