In short, yes.
I have similar pr’s, similarly switched to cycling post college, and similarly ran a marathon off a cycling season. My marathon time was 2:43. I was running 6flat pace up until mile 17 where I started having stomach issues and dropped to 7:30 pace for a few miles and then recovered, got back close to pace the last 5k. Watch your tummy and it’s very doable.
