64' easy, 3x20" strides

Because tapering strategies are discussed, I want to offer mine in hope for some advice/opinions:

Sa: 3 hrs easy (last long run)

Su: 60' Jogging

Mo: rest day

Today: 60' easy, strides

We: 90' incl. 14k@MP (8,75 miles)

Th: 40' jogging (start of taper)

Fr: 40' easy, strides

Sa: 100' incl. 4x2k@MP/1k easy

Su: 40' jogging

Mo: rest day

Tu: 30' easy, strides

We: 60' incl. 4x1k@MP/1k easy

Th: 30' jogging

Fr: 30' easy, strides

Sa: 20' jogging, strides

Su: MARATHON

I'm doing (just) a 10-day-taper for a few reasons: I trained well the last few weeks, but still at low mileage compared to most of you guys. Also, I wasn't as consistent as I wanted to be in the first half of the year (less than 1500 miles until today!). I believe every mile I run makes me a few seconds faster in the marathon and does me more good than tired. My weekly schedule this year was 5x60'+ 1x120'. I hope this is a rational taper.

85' incl. 14k @4:33/km

A bit tough in the middle of the run, but I think that's normal after the last solid weeks of training.
