Oh, be careful about running through pain - you dont want to worsen an injury.

The usual advice when you start a programme like this is to have your gait analysed at a running shop and make sure you get appropriate trainers for your gait.

Thanks but I did that. Bought the correct trainers. Got another run tomorrow so hope all is ok. Thanks
