Reading some of the recent research I have decided to give a 2 week marathon taper a shot. It was something that worked for me in my late 20's early 30's but now at 52 I have gone away from it. In training I have run 3 20's already and when running them I go at an easy relaxed pace (around 1 minute below my goal race pace) and try to mix in a few miles at race pace. Max weekly mileage is 41. Curious when doing my final 20, 2 weeks out should my pace change? Or is easy/relaxed with a few miles at race pace going to be fine so long as my following runs provide ample recovery.
Thanks in adavance
