Why don't you just adjust your imaginary marathon PR downward to something under 2:32?

That thread where the guy has the goal of being within 2x of the men'a WRs got me thinking about other multipliers. Here is the list for 1.25. I'm assuming lots of folks here have done these as lifetime PRs... what about wishing a 2-3 year period?
100 - 11.98
200 - 23.99
400 - 53.79
800 - 2:06.14
1500 - 4:17.5
5000 - 15:44.2
10000 - 32:43.8
MR - 2:32:03
For fun here are the LJ and HJ
LJ - 6.71 (22')
HJ - 1.84 (6'0.5")
I ignored the steeple, hurdles and other field events because I got tired of doing math.
I've assembled this list with the corresponding point values from the 2017 IAAF scoring table.
100m - 11.98 (620)
200 - 23.99 (672)
400 - 53.79 (648)
800 - 2:06 (620)
1500m - 4:17 (666)
5000 - 15:44 (683)
10000m - 32:43 (738)
Marathon - 2:32:03 (801)

I quit my college team part way through college (was an 8/15 runner) and switched to the HJ/LJ/100/400 training on my own. So I met your criteria of "within a 2 to 3 year period" for the 100, 400, 800, 1500, LJ. I didnt make the HJ, I only jumped 6 feet. I didnt run a 200, but assume I could have made that one. I'm not confident I could have done the 5000 in that window it would have been close based on workouts I did. I'm confident I could not have done the 10,000 or marathon. My PRs at the time were 11.7, 50.0, 1:57, 4:10, 23-4, 6' within a two year period.
Kind of a fun way to look at PRs.
I bet some of the top 800m runners could do every one of these in the same season. Not all, since some approach the 800 from the speed side, some from the distance side. But some are pretty balanced.
I'm amazed you were able to jump 23-4 off that 100 and vertical jumping ability. I was much faster at 100 and jumped much higher but never put together a LJ that far. Well done dude.
Had to wait until college but I got 100 - 1500. I am more of an ex-speedster. I came close in the 5000 with a 15:19 3 mile split in X-C. Don't know how accurate the split was, but I'll take it. My half and full marathons are average 1:16:54 and 3:07+
