just focus on volume and the pace will naturally build
to a point...
If you're generally healthy with a decent diet then running consistently should get you a lot quicker
what do you do at the moment (not just running. cycling, any gym etc.) and how much time will you realistically make for running?

I've barely done any running since finishing Paris Marathon 2022 (as in I crossed the finish line and that was it for the last year and a bit)... but have signed up for a half in September so need to get back to training.
I'm determined to try and improve this time around as Paris was a very poor effort, a good effort insofar as I, a fairly unenthusiastic runner with questionable fitness, finished it but I did it in 5hr42min which is nothing to write home about!
My mate who finished this years Paris in 2hrs57min reckons the trick is to just focus on volume and the pace will naturally build...
General thoughts, advice, recommended training guides etc?
