Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

Slow is good and we won't have to tell you to slow down.

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.

Slow? Lookup Slow Jogging, I am close to that. Call myself a snail. You can never be too slow. That is called sitting down. As long as you are moving, you are not too slow 😉
