Re: NBR mile race taper?

that is absolutely right. cut the volume but keep the race pace work.
a good thursday workout might be 3-4x300 with 300 jog with recovery
3-4x200 with 200 jog recovery; intervals at mile race pace.

Run 200s and not much more the Thursday before the race -at race pace - and be sure to do striders the day before at race pace so you know what that pace should feel like coming out of the gates. I wouldn't do anything more than 3 to 5 day before. Oh... and laugh and smile a lot in the days preceding the race. That'll keep your shoulders loose... or something like that.
