Just make sure you rest and are recovered by your next run
Which has been your hardest week? Week 8 is amazing. You're nearly there... I'm struggling on week 4.
Week 4 and week 6 I found toughest cant believe I'm at week 8. U will get there the weeks don't b long flying in. Hopefully u find week 5 better. 👍
I just find that I clock watch! I'd like to find it more comfortable and enjoyable!

Running consequtive days is not a good idea. It can lead to over use injury, particularly for new runners.
Hopefully you will get away with it this time, but be aware the consequences can appear weeks later.
Take an extra rest day now. Enjoy the birthday celebrations.
Oh I no I was totally doing the wrong thing and felt guilty the whole time but I needed to fit in my 3 runs this week I've stuff on too so fingers crossed all will b ok thanks 👍
I have done four back to back because I am enjoying it so much! Paying for it tonight!
Well done u. 💪 I no it is so tempting sometimes

Your muscles get micro tears in them when you run. Those repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while you are running. Extra running means extra tears and no repair. A recipe for injury or even permanent damage.
Rest days are as important as run days..........take them!!!!
