Running days

At the moment, I’m running on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. What would be the best way so I can do Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday instead.

I’m due to finish week 1 tomorrow but don’t want to overdo it doing an extra day.

Don't run tomorrow. Run on Saturday. Then you're there!

Perfect thanks! I was wreaking my brain trying to work it out.

Sorry kidding, rest and maybe walk or something , make sure you keep the blood flowing to all the areas worked

The only rule is that you shouldn’t run two days in a row. If you wish to have 1, 2 or even 3 days between runs, that is fine. Enjoy ‘week’ 2.

Just run Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday ..... I run Sunday... Tuesday and Friday... you can take extra rest days and keep it to your three days runs:)

You could also run today (Friday) and then run Sunday, and then you'll be set for starting your new routine on Tuesday.

I am running every other day (so long as my body keeps cooperating) 😊

I’ll see how I feel... managed to develop a cold and a bit bunged up. Then again, going for a run today might help me sweat out the germs quicker
