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...

Don't do it! Save everything for the marathon.

You said you thought i was pushing my luck when i said i was going to throw in a random 5k pb attempt so soon after my 10 mile pb but i felt good and thought IT'S ONLY A 5K but it tipped me over the edge and spent the best part of a week in a hole immediately afterwards. Form is such a tightrope once you've got it and I've found that the point that i feel i can do anything is actually the point I'm about ready to crack if I'm not careful. Just because you can doesn't mean you should and everything has been about this marathon so you should focus on that. Like everyone else though I'm much better at giving advice than taking it.

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.
