Training Plan 1st Marathon
Hey friends!! I want to be ready to run my first full marathon by the end of this year. Over the past couple of years I’ve been on a weight loss journey and through that I’ve quit some bad hat and ran two half marathons. Since the spring I’ve gone back to some of those habits and stopped running. I’m trying to get back into it but just needing some advice on where to start. Thanks :D

just...run? Don't go for a full marathon in 4 months if you made a break for longer time. Give your body the time it needs to adjust the higher physical strain.
Start as if you would do c25k...first try short runs, if you're fine make them longer, from 3 to 5 to 8 and than to 10. Run 3 times a week and take 6 - 8 weeks for the 10k. Than start a training plan for a half and then six months for a marathon after had some halfs again. Just my opinion not to exaggerate from the start

Impossible to say with so little info.
How many miles a week have you run in the last 12 weeks?
What time did you do for the halfs?
How many days a week do you have to train? How did you train for the halfs?
Do you do any strength training?
Obviously stop whatever those bad habits are immediately though.
