Tapering troubles

I'm running VLM this weekend and was wondering if anyone else is suffering heavy legs during their taper?

I went out for a three mile jog last night and felt like it was my first time running. I usually feel sluggish doing anything under four miles but still.

Ever since my last proper long run (20 miles two weeks ago) every time I start running I feel like I've already done 20 miles.

I saw my physio on Saturday who loosened me up and that has made me feel slightly better.

I'm just struggling with the concept of running 26.2 miles on legs which feel like they're no good for even six miles. I don't remember feeling like this before Brighton last year.

Any tips?
