Just coming to end of week 8 but now old injury from cracked tibia 4 years ago is very painful. Any suggestions? I’m so nearly there - and have been loving it!

Welcome to the forum and well done

on your progress.

We rarely leave our old injuries totally behind, in my experience, so do all you can to minimise impact.

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.
