Yes it’s normal. It takes a few weeks for your body and legs to adjust. But they will adjust.
Don’t forget to stretch and always take your rest days.
Your body, mind (and legs😉) will start to change in week 3-4 or at least they did for me.
Use the experience on this forum, everyone here started somewhere just like you and we are all here to help and support you when you need us ok😊
Try and incorporate some static stretches straight after your run.
Here’s the link, I found they helped a lot then the further into the program I got I started doing dynamic stretches before my run as well.

Very normal 😁
Your muscles are bound to object to anything new that’s asked if them. Aching is fine. Pain is something different and should be investigated.
The aches will ease off after a few weeks-promise🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

I usually do squats straight after a run and a few mins of aerobic type exercises and stretching. This helps everything ease back. It's the perfect time as you're on a high and filled with energy after a session, keep your music on and use that energy. Doesn't need to be long. I usually do 6 or 7 mins. 👍😁

Stretch after every run.... and yes, aches and pains when we start this are normal
