Cumulative Fatigue

I wouldn't worry. This is normal. Very common for fatigue to build up week over week as mileage and intensity get higher and beyond what you've ever done before as you peak for a race. If you taper right you should feel rested by race day assuming you didn't overtrain and peak too early. But you won't know that now and shouldn't worry about it. Also don't be surprised if you feel sore, tight and sluggish during taper. Also very common as you bring down the mileage and your body repairs itself. That's why you'll often see some intensity during taper plans to keep the legs fresh.

But I'm just telling you what other people have told me. As a 13:x/2:1x runner logging 150 mile weeks I don't feel fatigue.

You run 150MPW and you don't feel fatigue? Damn
