    Since middle of august the training has been heavy on with two half marathons and load of long runs from 18-22 miles.

    On sat i decided to do 13 miles 30 secs slower than my half marathon pace and i died at mile 12.

    Now i take it my body is probably tired and only recovering now with tappering but did anyone else experience anything like it?

    Google "marathon blues", "taper blues", and "taper madness"

    I'm in exactly the same boat as you average_runner - have been through a pretty tough 4 months and into the second week of my taper for DCM now. I have definitely noticed that I'm feeling sluggish - I felt great for the first 6/7 miles of a 12 mile run last Sunday but was struggling by the end of it. I've also noticed that I am way more tired than usual & concentration not as good as before...also a few marathon doubts creeping in!

    I thought this was a good article:
