Aww... Well done!! It feels great to do something active again!

You've made the first leap towards becoming a runner, congratulations. Have a read of the plan attached it's full of great advice, including post run stretches ( so important) and keeping hydrated etc.

Good luck out there and remember above all else enjoy it👍.

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.
