The week of. For girls backing off should benefit the most within a week of the race. For guys it usually takes 2 weeks though because most guys usually just suck when backing off a week before from personal experience.

2 weeks before you should do more speed and less distance.
1 week before start doing less and less.
3 days before only do easy runs.
Or be like me and only run 3 times in the 2 weeks before counties.
