So, had a week off, couple of light runs on and around the beach last week as suggested, came back, drew out my Marathon Programme and started again this week, feeling well refreshed.
Having a break seems to have done the trick, last nights 8 miles left me feeling like I used to, looking forward to the next run. I think, on reflection, i should have left more of a gap than a week between finishing the marathon and starting to train again.
