15 - total week will be ~40

ETA: I think I'm going to just Easy Run on my 3 "mid-week" runs this week. This last week I did 4 runs, Hill Repeats > Progressive Run > Insanely Hilly 30k > and just added 1.5 Miles at Marathon Pace on my recovery run today... every single run I did this week had some kind of workout in it while also going through a chest cold. I think I just need to let my body rest for the start of this next week.

So get this as a level up to your "you don't get" - I had run 39 miles this week, my Sunday recovery is usually 5, but today I made it 6 to round up to a pretty 45 miles on the week

With the disclaimer that I've never run a marathon: 15 miles at MP 3 weeks out seems like a little much. You'd expect someone to race a half a month out to test the goal pace, so 15 at goal MP might be overcooking it a little. I'll let Pedro or ks weigh in because I'm admittedly inexperienced with the longer stuff (giggity) but you don't want to mess up your training block right at the end

yea 15 is probably a bit hefty this close at that pace. Id say if you were keeping it under 13 youd might be fine but even then id probably just do like the last 5 or so at goal pace. With that Id say your probably still good for an early week workout.

Feeling much better today. taking one last off day to make sure i nip this and getting back after it tomorrow.
