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!

If you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... you will find links to stretches and also to a post about buying running shoes.

Look up "tibialis posterior tendinopathy". That gives pain where you describe. I am seeing a physio for mine. Good news is you don't have to stop running if that's what it is.

Thanks all :)

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