Downloaded the app today and did my first run. For someone that hasn’t run for at least 20 years, I was super proud of myself!

Well done you! Did my first run yesterday too! I hope it went well and you'll be running in no time! :) Good luck to you!

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.
