I'll be going with a 3 week taper for the first time. Previously I have gone with just the 2 weeks taper for my past 5 marathons. However this time around, the mileage has been higher and the quality has also been higher so a little longer to freshen up hopefully won't hurt. Plan is for 130 km's or thereabouts this week, 100 next week and 80-90 km's race week (including the race).
Today I did an easy hour run (14.4 km's), which also included 5 x 100 m strideouts. Felt pretty good today and average H/R was 134 (76%). Followed the run with 45 minutes of core exercises at the gym.
