Well Two Fruits .... I guess by resting up I mean backing things off so I can get one more burst of training energy for 1-2 more decent sessions before deliberately winding back and storing energy for a marathon - ie, tapering.

Now I understand, but make sure it's not peaking too early and being just over the edge by race day. Tapering in winter is easy, no excuses needed to have a day off. Take care in the next couple of weeks, a good marathon is on the way.
