Ankle pain

[Weirdyboaty]

Hiya. Just started week 4 and getting pain in my ankles. Shall I just keep running or take extra rest days until they don't ache anymore?

I have running shoes and running socks. I run on soft muddy ground. Fields, towpaths etc. Other than that I'm really enjoying this running malarky!

You are the best judge of your own body. Aches and niggles are normal at this stage. Pain is a warning. Don't try and run through pain.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes basic advice on aches and pains.

Extra rest days may be needed. Best not to run in pain.

Enjoy your journey.
