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.

You deserve to be very proud of yourself after running that milestone run of week 5 run 3 of C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

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, take it especially slowly. 😊
