From the looks of those numbers:
- the numbers look OK - except I might add on a little more to weeks 1 and 2 - but this is based on my own personal experiences where I think I've tapered too much and gotten too fat in the race prep...
- week 3 itself does look about right to me - I guess that's 3 runs of about 5 miles - but I also like to do a race kit run the day before (only 1-2 miles)

I don't really want to comment too much... mainly as I think I've stuffed up my tapering before in the past!

Sorry, but I tend to disagree. I think week 1 and week 2 are just about right considering that he's just dropping about 10 miles per week.

But what you do need to watch Greg... as Hollywood points out... is that you don't eat too much during weeks 1 and 2. Lower your intake a little to compensate the lower mileage but make sure you get enough protein to continue the repair/recovery from your last longest run, which should have been 3 weeks from Marathon day. Save the carbo-loading for week 3 from about Thursday onwards, your biggest carb meal being on Friday night and then carbohydrate snacks throughout Saturday.

Thank you you lovely people.

If you need anyone to eat the surplus food - then please let me know

Just treat the long races as marathon pace efforts.
Nice to get your drinks etc on the course!
