Hi Chris, this is a good start and it allows for a marker to build from, so allay all fears and hassles not.
The general idea will be to get you ready towards doing a Park Run, which is a distance of 5km
I highly recommend what I suggest now, and then we change things to accommodate what you want to still do regarding your longer walks, always keeping in mind trying to avoid niggles and injuries
the long-term goal is the Gun Run
our short term goals go according to this absolute beginners program
http://www.time-to-run.com/beginners/thebeginning.htm
pick either Absolute Beginners or The Beginners
these schedules are very easy, stick to them and you will progress
as you progress we build up to 8km, then 10km, once you able to run a 10km and in a race, the half marathon becomes easier
so be patient, believe and chat to Pete to reaffirm the belief
cheers
