So, Marathon Sunday week. My program has a 5km parkrun/time trial this Saturday.
Feels a bit spicy for one week out so my plan is to run it at marathon pace. My dad is looking for a 5km PB which is a bit slower than marathon pace so I said I would pace him.
I don't see any advantage in going full gas one week out, unless I'm missing something?
I would normally do something threshold-y around that time, I don't know if it's psychological but feels good to do something hard at some point in the taper. That's still 8 days off the marathon so proximity shouldn't be an issue.
