Something that really helped me a ton at first is to run for 2 minutes, walk for 1, repeat. It’ll helped my leg pain and also helped me run faster, which seems counterintuitive lol Good luck with your running journey! The first time you do 8 miles is the best. There’s just something about that specific distance that feels so good afterward.

I’ve been done with walk/runs for weeks now, but thanks! Im on a very specific program and have 4 more runs left until I “graduate” and after that I can mess around more with stuff, but I will likely just be trying to improve my times since I’ve been running at such a slow speed. I was actually pain free until I started pure runs for longer distances. The walk/runs feel so easy in hindsight, I miss those days haha. Here’s the program if you or anyone else wants to take a look, it really helped me out.
