4th time lucky

Trying again for the 4th time so fingers crossed. Last 3 attempts have been cut short due to fracturing my ankle 3 years on the trot. Nothing to do with the running just unlucky. Been eating healthier and getting out out for at least one walk a day for the past month so now I'm raring to go. Started this morning and forgot to track my run but I managed all the runs so all good.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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.
