I remember you from before! Welcome back, your body won’t forget and you’ll probably get your running legs and lungs back fairly quickly.

That’s what I am hoping for !

I have recently graduated and I walk a lot and use an exercise bike until I drip with sweat but I found that the best training for running was... running! Hopefully you'll remember that as the programme gets tougher, so do you and you have done the best thing and that is to come back to it again. Good luck.
