What about for a 1/2 marathon? I’m putting in a long run today in prep for the Rock n’ Roll then was going to taper this week with a 6.2, 4.5 and 3.1 before next Sunday.

Something like
2 mile easy WU; 2 x 6 minutes @ 5k pace w/ 3 minute recoveries; 1 mile easy cool down would be good for you considering your weekly volume. At higher volumes, a different race specific workout would be better, but one like that one would probably be best for you as long as you have done some speed and tempo work during your training.

Oh, and I don’t think you need to taper that much with your training volume. I would keep your long runs at 6 miles. Tapering for a half is really only needed if you have been training at higher weekly volumes (30+ miles) with long runs of 10 miles or more. The trick is to keep your base fitness while maximizing your energy reserves, allowing some recovery, and staying sharp.
