I’ve completed run 1, week 8 but after the last 2 runs I am getting pain in my right shin.

What do I do?

Great job on the running. Firstly I’d take a couple of extra rest days and then see how that shin is feeling with a really gentle run. If there’s no improvement then a physio or doctor will be the way to go.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

Extra rest.

Good shoes, if not yet bought.

Do not overstride.

Slow down.

Enjoy your journey

Thank you. I’ve just been reading your article with leg up & an ice pack. I’ll do the stretches & fingers cross I’ll be back on it. Thanks for the help.
