Just finished run 3 and am buzzing. Had a slight groin strain after run 2 so have left it a couple of days before doing run 3. Any tips on how to avoid strains?

Well done for listening to your body.
To avoid strains stay slow and steady, running at an easy conversational pace, as described in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Build your running body gently and you can work on speed when you have a strong resilient physique.
Thank you for the good advice!
