cold, niggles, mediocre sleep. definitely sounds like a taper
Joking aside, if it's just the sniffles then I'd carry on with the taper as normal - i.e. similar intensity but lower volume.
sleep as well as you can, stay hydrated, don't be tempted to try and squeeze in extra training. expect to feel twitchy and lazyif the cold turns into something more then reassess, otherwise trust the process, the hay is in the barn, [insert other cliché here]

So I've my first marathon Sunday week and I've come down with a dose. Seems like a standard cold stuffed nose, chesty cough. I believe this happens in a taper. Worse part is I can't seem to get a decent kip up every couple of hours. What's the advice? Obviously want to get to the start line in as good a shape as possible.
