Let's see here. I'm assuming that means an 8k time of 26:11.
That means you had a VDOT of just under 65.
Your predicted marathon time was around 2:33.
Assuming you had the same talent level as you did at 8k, and also assuming you went ahead and did the training to express your talent, and then ran the race.
You didn't do those things, so shut up. Or: go train, race, prove it, and then yack away.
