I don’t see anything wrong with 10 especially if you’re running 13 already. 1.5 warm 10 mp 1.5 cool
Ok, I just did it and was able to pull it off:
Yay? But now the real question... my heart rate is concerning me, should it?
Like that heart rate isn't sustainable for 26 miles... or should I take heart rate data this late in my training cycle with a grain of salt because my body is beaten up so much?

I would try not to overanalyze heart rate data. If you feel beat up, ease off for a week and taper a bit. IMO, it's easier to judge based on how your body is feeling and not try to use strictly the numbers. Only you know how much you can put your body through. You can also put your body through a lot more than you think. You held that mid/hi 160s BPM for at least an hour, who says you can't do it for another?
As you said you are pretty beaten up already, so that should be a sign that on a good day with total preparation, you can post ideal results at double the distance.

Heart rate gonna heart rate.especially at race pace. No reason 160 isn’t maintainable for marathon. What do you really think it should be? I think the better question is how did the pace for that distance feel? If it was fairly easy even with your running build up over the past few weeks then that pace may be slightly above your current conditioning for a marathon.
At this point since this isn’t your “A”, you have two choices come race day. Take it easy and stick with slower pace / heart rate or Walter white it! Go out stick to goal pace and see how it goes. If you fall off then you adjust get to the finish line and know what needs to happen to achieve your goal at the “A” race. Life is short. Running is a hobby. Just go for it.
What 100 miler are you planning to tackle? I might know a little about running that distance.

I did the Mercedes Half in 1:40 and maintained a HR of 180. 1:15 at Statue to Statue at 180. That’s about 93% of my max HR.
I have noticed with the zone 2 stuff, that it is taking more effort to get into zone 2. I used to have to slowdown or stop jumping rope or slide boarding to maintain that zone. Now I struggle to go fast enough to stay there.
