The other consideration to whether a taper run in FL might be a good idea is a little heat acclimation training. Research shows it takes about 10 days to really start to acclimate, but some HAT helps more than nothing. Since I come from WI (where most of my last training runs are done in wind chills as low as -30F, not much sweating, blood is thicker, etc.), I spend the last couple of weeks of training doing Heat Acclimation training (WAY overdress in training to force significant sweating and trying to cause my body to adapt and thin out my blood, produce more sweat). Haven't really needed the HAT the last two years since it's been cold. But if it were warm, I use this as a substitute for "having" to do any FL runs prior to the races to help acclimation. So it's an additional consideration as to whether a run in FL for taper is a good idea.
