Is it tiredness in the legs or a generalised feeling of knackered?
Pushing the distance little and often, given your running schedule will help a bit. Goto 6k tonight, then 6.5 next week, then 7. As you're planning on Trouncing Run Norwich, I'd probably say you don't need to look at doing more than 7.5-8k in your runs. You'll do better on the day.
For running fuel / stitches, you should be fully carbed up as you're running in the evening and after dinner. Try eating maybe 1/2 your dinner two hours before your run and finishing it off afterwards, or failing that, given we've got the longer lighter evenings right now, is there any way you can go out a little later once the MIKElings / MIKElets are in bed?
If you're suffering a generalised feeling of knackeredness, you could try taking a SIS running gel about a km into your normal run and see if that helps. You can get them at (funnily enough) Halfords upstairs in the cycling dept. For Gods sake though, don't get one with caffine if you're planning an evening run. Your pupils will shrink down to the size of Wes Hoolahan and you'll end up having Fight Club type hallucinations on the roundabout.
