Welcome to the forum and well done on restarting.

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. I’m doing the same today. I got to week 6 Run2 and had to stop. Quite annoying as thought I was preparing and sufficiently stretching, hydrating and all of the above.. But I’m going back to basics and if the running is a problem, I’ll have to be content with walking.

Hi thanks. Think you learn new things each time. This time I’m going to do more strengthening exercise especially for my knees. We will get there!
