Hi everyone :)

I’m about to start wk8 but have started getting some uncomfortable pain on inner ankle and calf.

Looking into footwear but also want to know the best stretches - any good sites or videos?

Thanks!

How’s it going? Hope the stretches helped. Also, an extra rest day can work wonders. I still walk on rest days.
