I can’t help with the ankles but welcome and well done with the first couple of runs.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Everybody gets minor aches all over when they start an unfamiliar exercise regime.........it could be the wrong footwear, how you have them laced or some other biomechanical issue that may or may not sort itself as you get used to the demands. If it persists, consult a qualified medical professional.

Enjoy your journey.

Welcome

Your ankles are probably getting use to the new movement. Read the link in your other comments they are useful.

Good luck and enjoy 😀

Yes I had pains in the front of my ankles/shins for the first couple of runs. I used ice and ibuprofen and an extra rest day and they got better and haven't been a problem since. Good luck😊
