The lessons really are fantastic 🙂 This site is such a great resource. Just to check I’ve understood you, I have ‘previous lesson’ and ‘next lesson’ under the bridge video – do you mean do the earlier exercises for now (i.e. the ones that appear before the bridge in the video list), and every so often test whether I’m strong enough for a bridge yet?

Happy birthday! 🙂

I run (not well, and not far!) and the three things that come to mind are:
1) Are you starting on short distances, interspersed with walking, and then planning to build up gradually over several weeks? The Couch25k running plan is great for this. If you do too much too soon it stresses your body and leads to pain.
2) Are you having at least one non-running day after each running day? A few years ago I ran every day for four days and hurt my knee so much I had to stop running altogether for 5 weeks. I have some friends who run every day but they generally have more aches and niggles than the friends who run alternate days.
3) Are your running shoes designed to compensate for your particular gait? For example, my feet land slightly on the inside and then ‘roll’ to the outside as they take off again, so my shoes had to be ones that are shaped/designed to compensate for that otherwise I’d be in pain. A good running shop may have a treadmill where they can film you running and play it back in slow motion to check your running movement, and advise on the right running shoes to keep you comfortable.
Right now I’d say consider getting your foot checked by your doctor, and even if there’s nothing obvious wrong, rest for at least several weeks before starting again. A too-short rest just leads to any pain coming back. Good luck!
