Hi all, I've started my 1st week and this is my second time at week one just to build myself up but I'm having a bit of lower leg pain and ankle pain, I don't think it's shin splints as I think I've had them before. Have you any tips I could use to help me with it.
Thanks
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 pacing, minimising impact, stretching after every run and dealing with injury amongst many other topics.
Great thank you I will have a look at this.
Well done starting. It's the hardest part. Do you have decent running shoes? It can make a massive difference. Good luck.
I have just got some running trainer not sure if there good, what are good running trainers to have.
It depends on your running style. I had a lot of shin and knee pain during the first week and I went to a running shop after and had gait analysis done - where they look at you running and then suggest suitable shoes. The gait analysis is free if you buy shoes and only takes a few minutes. The right shoes made all the difference to me. Pain free running.
