redoing c25k might be partly responsible for setting me up for a two year stretch with no niggling injuries.
It's 2.5 monhts since my calf went ping.
My physio has said that I should be good to start running again, if I take it easy.
That (and the additional 4kg) makes me think that your c25k approach would likely be good for me too.

Totally get the frustration. I remember feeling almost tearful when I started because it felt like I had lost so much ground.
I know this will sound controversial but I think that redoing c25k might be partly responsible for setting me up for a two year stretch with no niggling injuries. By taking it gradually meant I came back stronger than even before my injury. I know there's a lot of luck in there too, but just feels like it was worth it with hindsight. I think it also helped me learn to be more patient with my mileage increases.
