Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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.

That’s the hardest run done, first of anything is hard but once started easier to carry on. Well done for getting started

Excellent! Set your three run days each week and stick to them. You’ve done the hardest part - starting! You can do this. It’s life changing 😍
