Speed... or lack thereof

It hit me like a brick when I stopped to think. Rep 15 during my intervals today seemed fast. Then I divided by 2 to get the 100 m speed, noticed it was 3 min/km, multiplied by 42.195, and got 126.585, in other words 2:06:35.

A 2:06:35 marathon is slower than the current world record.

So all I need to do is run the whole exercise about 2% faster than my fastest rep today, cut out the rest intervals, and do that a little over 14 times in a row. I'm pretty sure it won't happen for mid-April.
