Pace during taper period

Anyone have suggestions on how I should be approaching my pace on runs during the taper weeks? My marathon is October 26 (see my schedule below) and I'm curious about how to go about upcoming runs. Should I do some fartleks/intervals, push the pace on certain days, or just try to run at my comfortable goal pace for most of it.

My training groups have always done race pace only during the taper. Distance significantly reduced, but speed maintained. Tapering now for my half next weekend.0
