Have you read the guide to the plan? healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

The guide gives advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration, dealing with injury and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Wait until pain free before running. If this persists then you really do need to consult either your GP or a physio.

thank you. ....need to rest up till pain goes and start from scratch again and do more stretching before and after. ..even though I feel it hard I do enjoy it to. ...

Please don't run with the pain !Give yourself a few days off and see if the pain goes.

If it dosent then it would consult professional advice from either your doctor or a sports physio

Have you read the program guide that IannodaTruffe has linked to ??

And are you doing the stretches after your run ??

Something to check. When running, are you landing on your heel or on the middle of the foot?
