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.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran 🏃🏾 😊

Well done, I was really apprehensive about that run, and like you was so chuffed when I did it. And that feeling continues every run. I'm on wk8r3 tomorrow and I'm enjoying it......mainly because I keep surprising myself that I can actually run nonstop 😅 (albeit slow, but nonstop). 👍
