Welcome to the forum.

The best trainers are the ones that work for you and somebody else's recommendation may be wholly inappropriate for you. There is a link in the guide to a post about running shoes.

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.

Same advice really !

Get a gait analysis done to see what running shoes you need then get the right ones for you , I completely changed my mind on what I thought I wanted after getting the right advice 🙂
