3 months is a short time....I finished week 14 of the.10K app. This is a great program, if you can put in the time and be patient you'll gain so much.

Thanks

I would work closely with your doctor and physical theraptist on how to ease into the running. They should be able to get set up with the best shoes, analyze your flexibility and get you set up on a program to prevent injury. Welcome, Rob

I fixed my shin splints with this running form: After switching my running style, I avoided the excruciating pain in my shins. For several weeks into the program, my feet/calves/shins were still sore as my body developed those muscles to support my weight during impact. Remember, pain is your body telling you that your body is out of alignment (suggestion to go to running store to have them analyze your gait). For soreness without pain, your body gets stronger each time you run and you will get to the point of not being sore.
