having a bit of a crack at a 5k PB on Thursday
You're tapering for a Marathon PB & sub-3 attempt, no? Unless it's a really soft 5k pb that you'll hit at planned marathon pace I'd say the 5k pb should wait till you've recovered from the mara.

My heart says you’re wrong and 10 days is plenty to recover but my head says you are probably right...
My 5k is pretty soft, given that I’ve done a 1:23 half marathon in this marathon build and my plan has 30 mins threshold in it for Thursday, my threshold is therefore around 3:50 per km so I’d be looking at shortening session by 10+ minutes and increasing pace by 10 seconds or so per km...

Had a full kit wanker test run today, 15k easy then 13k a bit faster than marathon pace, the aeroswift shorts are so nice, just a shame there is no storage at all in them, love the alphaflys, the aeroswift vest is bloody freezing but that’s probably a good thing given I run pretty hot!
Into more proper taper mode now, although having a bit of a crack at a 5k PB on Thursday, my park run PB is 17:50 so would be nice to beat that... stretch goal is 17:11 which I did a Ross Barclay 5k last year!
