I could be wrong and there is a few coaches that troll the forum, but two weeks to fully adapt to whatever stress you put on the body.  So, hard workouts will more than likely not translate into better times now.  I made the mistake a few times, so I speak from experience.   Trust the tapper!

I'm in taper now, too...i feel like I could run a marathon at a 6 min/mi pace!!! HAHA...

My day off will prob be Thursday, with light volume/high intensity sandwiching it...

Then, come Sunday, afterburners will be turned on HIGH

Trust the taper
Believe the taper
Do NOT blow the taper

You will have great and bad workouts during taper.  That's just par for the course.  Don't overshoot your zones after a bad workout either.  See rule #3.  :P
