Hi Training up to 16 mile before holiday 3 weeks ago. Was Doing 40 mile per week. Come back and did 30 mile last week and now developed a chest infection . How long will it take me to get back to 16 mile distance. Is 9 weeks long enough to train if I can shrug it off quickly?

I'm also marathon training, my longest run before I got ill was 16.5 miles and was running the same weekly mileage as you.
After the all clear from my gp I did my first run Monday 6 miles which felt good so went out yesterday and did my LSR and managed 15 miles, I actually could have gone further but didn't want to push it. Amazingly I felt great, no lack of fitness or stamina, breathing all good!
So please don't worry,( I was panicking big time about not running) rest up and get better you will be surprised how quickly you can bounce back.
