I got lots of aches early on, and they’re pretty normal. Over time they reduce and now I only get them if I either extend distance or go chasing pace. The aches I see as a part of the micro-tear, heal and strengthen cycle.

It might be worth doing a few stretches after each run, many of us find these helpful. Here is a link as a starting point

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

Do the stretches linked to in the guide and slow down to keep the impact minimal.

Enjoy your journey.
