Running well, but still tired

My weekend long run went well again yesterday. I was satisfied that I managed to run at the fast pace last weekend, but my pace was even faster this week. It is reassuring that I am running quite fast without really trying. I think this is thanks to all the VO2 Max training I have put in. (Usually you cannot run any faster when your heart rate cannot cope, not when your legs give out)
So that's very positive. On a negative side, I am still suffering from general tiredness. Then I checked my diary again and I seem to always have a breakdown at this point of training - it must be accumulation of fatigue for the last three months. I guess that's why they recommend to start tapering off three weeks before the race.

Friday: 8 miles
Saturday: 15 miles
This week: 56 miles
