Welcome to the forum and well done on your decision.In the guide you will find a link to a post about running shoes. Don't pay too much attention to anyone else's specific recommendations, as their perfect shoe may be wholly unsuitable for you........we are all different.

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.

I can’t recommend a specific shoe as our feet will be different! Have you thought about having gait analysis/going to a running shop? They are normally very helpful and knowledgeable. Consider whether you will be trail running, road running or cross country before buying 😊
