Hi Lee. Do you have good walking/running shoes? I don't mean something which costs a fortune - but also not something which has been kicking around in the back of the cupboard for years and years? Also are you wearing your laces v tight? Give the app a go. You don't have to be too brisk with your 5 minute warm-up walks. And the first week has 1 minute runs which you can take as slowly as you feel comfortable. good luck and post how you get on
