Getting back at it...

I've been running for just over a year.

Started 1.5 miles - 10k - half marathon - full marathon.

I'm now going back to the start and doing the c25k as my timing is really slow but I'm worried this may not help with timing but I am certainly enjoying being back at running!!!

I hope you enjoy your return to running Erin, rerunning the whole course of C25K is fine, as someone who has ran all those distances you should find rerunning C25K easy.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

By timing do you mean pace?

I can't really see how doing C25K will improve your pace.

You might find this guide to post C25K running more useful healthunlocked.com/couchto5... as it gives pointers to developing your running.

Welcome. Getting pace down means going long and slow and/or short and fast... I too am not sure how C25K will help with that. Have you tried race plans?
