I've done a couple of halfs and fancy a crack at full one next year.

And recommendations for books on training / nutrition for it?

You could look up the Ron Hill books from 25-30 years ago to see how it was done back in the day.

He managed 2.09 which the modern Europeans would be well pleased with....

Try "Training for the Marathon" by Cliff Temple. Think that's the correct name for the book.

Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide by Hal Higdon for training.
Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes for inspiration.

Just started this, hoping it'll get me off my arse and back running regular again.

Early days yet, but it does look like it could be a good one for motivation...

Ron Hill was a better runner than a writer. If you want a bio Charlie Spedding's is pretty good. If you want scaring out of your wits Gilbert Tuhabonye?
