My legs are jello, i need some help!

My HIM is coming right up. This is the last build week before the taper begins. Last week was a tough week as well with the week before that being a recovery week. Pretty much since the recovery week my legs have felt pretty fatigued.

I feel I am sleeping a decent amount and eat reasonably well. My long run today went pretty dang poorly and I had to walk because my legs just wouldn't go. Cardio wise fine, HR a little higher than I would like but not out of whack.

What should I do? For reference...I am following the BT HIM program and have been following it pretty closely. I do sometimes miss a short workout here or there but I've been diligent in my overall training (I think). Hope that helps a bit since I don't log using BT.

Recovery week (2 weeks ago) - planned was 5:00 hours. I did 2:27:25 because i really wanted to recover. Workouts were a bit more intense than they should have been

Last week - planned was 8:50. I did 5:39:21 because quite frankly it's been raining here almost every day for a month and I missed 1 long bike ride, the only long ride I've ever missed.

This week - Planned is 9:20. I am on track for the 9:20 but again my legs feel terrible
Next week Taper
Following week - Taper  + race
