You suit yourself... as long as you take at least one day of rest between each one.. Some folk run Monday, Wednesday and Friday and have the weekend off... I run Sunday, Tuesday and Friday... you fit your run pattern into your life style :)

Each week three runs. Always a rest day in between. Never break this rule. Other than that, organise however works for you. Some prefer regular days. I fit it around the rest of life so it varies. Also a C25k "week" can be a bit longer than 7 days. Some weeks I just couldn't manage to fit in 3 runs but if it takes 8 or 9 days that's no problem. Just never less than 6 or you are skipping rest days.

Enjoy.
