London to Brighton - tapering

[Deleted User]

On Sunday I did what I planned to be my longest run - 36 miles from Stafford to Wolverhampton along the canal towpath - a very nice run by the way. It took me 5 hours 30 mins on an uneven path with stops to eat and pee.

I'm planning my last very long run this Friday (30m) followed by the Lake Vyrnwy half on Sunday. Then for the last two weeks I'll taper down as if for any other marathon.

Is that about right? What do you think?

I'm no expert but it sound about right to me.
