yeah, it's a bbc / public health England app with coaches and whatnot. it's well good at keeping you motivated during a run as well as getting you off your arse in the long term.

Wear bike shorts for the next few runs. Use friction block in the future too. They are great also for toe blisters.

I also had knee pain and purchased some knee braces, which make a huge difference. I was only able to run on the grass before, but have been able to slowly transition to concrete without it hurting. Can even run without the braces now, but I still wear them most of the time to be safe.
I'm in no way affiliated with this company, and I don't know if this is allowed, but these are the ones I got and am very happy with:
I've also been doing a lot of stairs to try and build up my leg/knee strength, so they can handle the pressure of running better.
I'm on week 4 run 2 and yea I have the same problems on my right ankle I've broken that foot three times, just my luck never broken any other bones.
I went and got proper gate analysis of my running style this has definitely helped as I would sometimes have pain just from walking long distances but this pain has been gone now untill I was on week 4 run 1 by the end of the run I could feel my ankle giving me hell, i have gone and bought calf compression socks to see will this ease some of the pain.
They are supposed to help with shin splints, muscle strain, muscle tightness, achilles tendonitis, trauma, etc.
