Everyone is different, but my taper is pretty much this one:
Week 1 : 80% of peak mileage. Week 2 : 60% of peak mileage. Week 3 : 40% of peak mileage -including race
Only decreasing relative mileage, keeping intensity the same (but for a shorter duration).

Definitely. This decreasing means, 80%/60% of the long run and workout length too. Intensity stays the same! However i don't do any intense stuff in the last week.
