I did first run of W8 Monday and thought I was going to die!! I can feel my legs today! Should I have another rest day do you think?

Take another rest day if you think you need it. There are no rules to say you need to run every other day x

You’ll be fine taking another rest day if you think your body needs one. I kind of wish I’d taken an extra one, as like you I did W8R1 on Monday and had a tricky R2 (but managed it) today after a long day of hiking in the mountains yesterday!
There’s no hurry to complete the programme. Just have fun!
Good luck! 😀🏃♀️😀
Well I had another rest day and yesterday I did my 28 minute run and felt a lot better after this one than my first - yay!
