Good morning

I have just completed week 4 run 3.

I’m really enjoying it except for very painful aches in my legs after my run which lasts most of the day.

Help please.

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.
