Which session should I do?

I'm in the last week before a 10K race I've been training for. For the last couple of months I've been running 50-60 miles a week comprising two track sessions, a long run of 10-15 miles and lots of easy running. So far this week I've done:

MON - 10 miles EZ (6:45 pace)

TUE - 4 x 1200m @ 5K (2 min rec) + 2 miles EZ

WED - 7 miles EZ (6:30 pace)

I'm planning to take Friday off and do 3-4 EZ miles on Saturday before the race on Sunday. The question is what should I run today? I'd normally do a long run of about 13 miles slightly faster than EZ pace but am worried I'll tire myself out for Sunday. Alternatively I was thinking of doing an abbreviated track session at race pace (eg, 3 x 1 mile @ 10K pace + 2 miles EZ). Thoughts?

re: GPA

You'll tire yourself out more with a track session (even an abbreviated one) than you will with a distance run. Maybe an EZ long run with some strides at the end?

re: Harry Balzac

Normally I would agree with Harry about not doing a track workout this close to race day. But the one you suggest is not that demanding and should help sharpen you for Sunday. And it's better than doing a moderately paced 13 miles, I would think. I vote for the track workout. Good luck on Sunday.
