C25k

[Petethesparky]

Hi,

My names Pete, just started my c25k with my daughter’s Jo & Natalie . I’m 52 I’m on my 2nd run and I’ve started to get a pain in my left Achilles, I’m ok walking but running is painful.

Any tips would be great as I don’t want to go back to the couch !!

Welcome and well done... just keep it steady and keep it slow... Aches and pains are expected... but the correct shoes could ease the problem... ?

Since starting I've had aching ankles, knees, hips, shins & calfs - mine all faded away after time, I've just done my first run of week 8 and nothing ached when I'd finished, I think it just takes a while for your body to get used to it. Persevere- no matter how slow, in fact as others have said, the slower the better!
