Good running comes with practice, when you run you shouldn't be landing on the ball of your foot or your heel you will learn to land your foot flat and soft so there's no thuding . Just keep going 😊

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on minimising impact.

What are you wearing on your feet? Proper running shoes fitted after a gait analysis done at a specialist running shop are essential in my opinion.

Enjoy your journey.
