Congrats on getting back running! I had a very similar experience recently (https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16710559/) and am trudging back to fitness too. Good luck!

Posted in here a few weeks ago asking about shin splints. I'd fucked around trying to play Dr Google and self-diagnosing then after going nowhere for weeks finally went to a physio who completely ruled out shin splints. After a few weeks working on it with the physio it is significantly better and after increasing my walk/runs last week I am back running this week - moral of the story is GO TO THE PHYSIO when you get a niggle and you'll save weeks of wasting time (making this point more to remind myself as much as anything else).
Ran 5km today in 24 minutes which in August would have felt very easy. Certainly not the case now :(
I am looking at a HM in May, probably Hackney and may start the Hal Higdon plan I had some reservations on that I believe @yoshy is currently on. I would like to run somewhere between 1.30-1.40 with the aim of undergoing another cycle and getting a sub 1.25 PB in late summer.
Tempted by the Vaporfly's at £100 on Nike at the minute but definitely not warranting a carbon shoe on current fitness.... (not that this ever stopped plenty of others)
