Did my third run of Week One this morning.
Because of my work shifts I want to do the same the days each week.
Are there any cons in having a two day gap even though it's suggested one day on, one day off?
I want to do Sunday, Wednesday & Friday each week.
Do what's best for you 👍🏻
There are no rules to which days only you have One day off to repair
(Something I learned other day 😊)
9wk programme taken me 12 weeks upto now I think
I quite often end up with a 4 day gap, and rarely get 3 runs in a week but have got to Week 8 and have managed to do every run (albeit at a very slow pace!) I would say it doesn’t matter if you have more than a day’s rest. 👍
That sounds fine.
If you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... it answers this and many other questions.
Keep us posted on your progress.
That is fine.... I do Sunday Tuesday Friday 
If you do 3 runs a week, you have to have a 2 day gap in there somewhere. Good luck with week 2.
That’s ok...you do it however it works for you...just as long as you keep going 😉
Running three times a week will inevitably give you two single rest days and a two day gap. This is when your muscles repair and get stronger so a really important part of the programme, although you can do non impact exercise on rest days if you want : e.g. swimming, walking, cycling, gym, squats and lunges, or even use the strength and flex podcasts if you get tempted.
That's the pattern I've run from the beginning, so I can 100% say it's fine and works! Luckily I'm not restricted by shifts, I just found those days of the week work well for me. If you're on one of the weeks where it's the same run 3 times, it's quite nice having that 2 day break right after your first go at it because you're covered if you overdid it! 
Took me a while to realise I was odd around here because my 2 day break was not at the end of each cycle of 3 
Works great that way though for when life (well weather) gets in the way, because I can bring a run a day forward easily and still have the minimum 1 rest day. Or if I'm not feeling virtuous on a Sunday, bump it to a Monday, and I've still completed a cycle by Friday.
The only rule you need to worry about, is have a minimum of one rest day inbetween. That's it! You can have more rest days ( Lillybeth30mins was doing 2 runs a week rather than 3) and it doesn't have to take 9 weeks.
Good luck!
I always have a two day gap at least once a week, sometimes have had a 3 day rest, don't worry about things like that, just make sure it fits in with your life, you are supposed to enjoy it.👍😀
