Biggest mistake I made in my running journey was post Chester marathon. Still haunts me now. If only I had not rushed back like I did. Just taking another week to ease back. Bollocks!! Don’t make that same mistake. I’m not saying you have to run the days I’ve set, but I would ay 3 easy runs, maybe a gym sessions your limit. You might feel fine but the body will still want rest and just by being patient now you are setting yourself up to hit the training hard again the following week and run Pier to Pier really well. Be smart.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
