In the seventies, Pete Riegel published a useful algorithm that related any time/distance to the (then-current) WR, as a way to equalize performance over different distances. It was a handy thing, and a bunch of us used to use it. For me (at age 38, oh so long ago):
10k 35:20 index = 781
10M 59:00 index = 777
I feel the same as you. Your 10k and marathon times are the same as mine. Always felt there was a 2:45 out there for me but it never happened.
10k 35:17
10M 59:06

All about 12-15 years ago. Now at 51 I'm hoping for sub 3:10 next fall.
