Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

Just finished it! I had to stop for about 6 seconds to shove my laces into my shoe after they came undone. I was SO slow, and I mean snail pace🐌 feeling a bit down because of how slow I was but I’m glad I completed it! I feel like I should maybe repeat the week...? I’m a mixed bag of emotions here after that run😂
