@frazerkate_sw Sorry I missed your follow up post in this thread when I replied or I wouldn't have spent as much time discussing conversational training pace. Fortunately @Stoshew71 is on the ball as always.
Hopefully you are no longer concerned about improvement; that's not a normal thing to be concerned about anyway!Your age and basic fitness and past running experience all count. If you want to test this, stop running for 15 years and then start again, it'll be much more painful.
That said, once a runner, always a runner IMO so you've got a leg up there. Train smart, seek to minimize injury that would sideline you, and you'll be a faster, lighter, you in six months and probably unbelievably transformed by this time next year.
You can do a lot in a year. Been there, done that, as have many here. Enjoy the ride!0
