Do you stretch after every run?

Do you hydrate as recommended in the guide to the plan?

Are you doing any strengthening exercises as recommended in the guide to the plan?

Are you following the advice in the guide on minimising impact

Do my knee strengthening exercises most days as have dodgy ones. Have to say that when I first started my glutes would ache and ache..., fine now.

Just keep stretching and stick to those rest days!
