I like it as an idea, although it relies your recovery ability 😉

12 mile training run earlier, tapering now for a half next Saturday, then after that back to my marathon programme, by the time July comes this is gonnae feel a long shift.

Eek less than a month now until next marathon (been keeping quiet but I entered Manchester and Leeds). I don't feel good about my training. Tentatively hoping for sub 4 at both but I felt much better prepared for York last year.

It sounds as you are feeling a bit like me hgreav. I ran a solid 1.39.37 on not the easiest course today but I still don't feel ready for marathon!!

My last twenty done today on flat trails after a 10km race yesterday. I had spent the morning at work on my feet and by 18 miles I could have easily called it a day but knowing it was the last one kept me going 😊
Very ready for the taper!
Anyone doing Brighton?

Well done. My last 20 was Saturday. Planning 16 trail this weekend and 2 hours easy on Easter weekend. Then whatever the marathon gods have planned.

Haha, Oscar the Grouch, that is the attraction of the marathon, never knowing till the day. Enjoy your taper too !

Last long run today, now for the taper.
Still feeling ok, I intend to go for even splits starting off at 5.30 k's (about 8.50 mile pace), which should give me a cushion if crowds etc are a problem (as an aside, has anyone else noticed just how many people are in the wrong corral, seems more of a problem just lately)
Aiming for sub 4, but at best maybe a 3.50

I find one strategy towards even or negative split is to start in a pen 15 min slower than what I think I will do, and not get in a rush at the start.
