In the past I've peaked at the wrong time. For the half marathon in 2012 I did an entire half marathon at race pace two weeks before the race itself - the race felt much harder but my time was actually worse. The 10k PB I'm trying to beat was actually a late peak for the marathon 2 weeks earlier - I didn't taper sufficiently.
So for this one I'm going to stick to my training plan, which has a gradual build-up in mileage and difficulty (tempo runs, intervals, race pace efforts) leading up to the race and then a 1 week taper.
