Welcome to the forum and well done your decision.

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.

Rest up and recover before starting......you don't want to do yourself another injury.

Enjoy your journey.

Once you get going, post on here! You will find much encouragement on this forum, we will celebrate your successes with you and offer advice on those runs that maybe didn’t go as well as you’d hoped! You can team up with people at a similar stage to you and offer them encouragement, too - just ‘follow’ them; or just browse as you want and comment where you like! Good luck and I hope your injury heals soon and you can start your running journey. 🙂
