Well done I've just done w4r1, my ankles seemed to hurt just at the last 2 mins of last 5 min run, they are fine now. No idea about yours I'm nearly 40 so every day i find a new ache

Well done. It's always nice to get that first run of the week under your belt.

Try a few stretches before and after your run. Might help a bit. Could be your running shoes too. Maybe not enough cushioning?
