Welcome... you can do this. As I understand hyper mobility, strengthening work on all muscles around affected joints helps to pull the ligaments more and increase stability. Have a look at strength and flex... though you’ll want to do less of the flex bits. The plan is a great place to start and fits around C25K on the non running days nicely.

Thank you. That’s a great article.
Hi, good luck! You've made the first hard step by starting. I find its hell all the way through but it really does get better each run, it's weird!
