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.

Well done for taking your first steps towards a healthier lifestyle. I must be honest and let you know that you may not lose much weight just by running, but regardless of weight loss this is a FANTABULOUS programme and I fully recommend it - I graduated today and started 9 weeks ago for the very same reason.In the UK you can use the NHS healthy eating app - it's not available outside of the UK so, unfortunately, I haven't been able to use it - but I hope it helps you.
TRUST THE C25K PROGRAMME - sometimes the next activity might seem like quite a big jump, but you will be able to do it. This forum is also full of friendly people and helpful advice! GOOD LUCK! 🏃🏻♀️
