Never did I think I would want to run more...

[MissyMoff]

I am week four and have done 2 out of the 3 runs. Quick question. I would really like to do more (but know that we should have a rest day in between). What can I do on my rest day that will scratch my itch? I just don't enjoy other exercise like I do running. Can I do a previous week's run (so I don't push myself) or is that an absolute no no too?

Some kind of cross training?

You really need a 5-6 month running base before introducing more running days

Please read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Any non impact exercise is good for you on your non running days.

I like yoga, cycling, using the elliptical... but it's all about what works for you. You say running is the only exercise you like, but there are hundreds of other things you can do. I am certain you will find something else you enjoy just as much as running =)
