"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

I found the 3000 mile men from the chasing the sun video . For sime reason I liked the souind track . I guess what I enjoyed most about the film was its low key nature - no human interest angle... no super elite  - just a couple of guys running across America (as you do)

I stumbled over this on youtube today - well worth watching.

NAV4 seem to have a good reputation amongst runners (I've not done a course with them but am thinking about it).

Fell runners association also organise navigation training days. You've missed the spring course butthe autumn course is 27th-29th September

Sounds like you should recognise that your planned high load week is unfeasible given your other commitments. Probably not a good idea to try and lever it in anyway - the peak week scheduled against other high stress events is not desirable.

Suggest you just do the peak week 1 week earlier and lengthen your taper. Unless you are an elite athlete its probably going to make no difference and may even help.
