I know you should take rest days from running, this week I have done:
Tuesday - C25K w1r1
Wednesday - usual trampoline class
Thursday - swim
Today - rest
Tomorrow 1 C25K w1r2
Think I can do w1r3 on Sunday or shall I take another days break?
If I take the break I’ll probably do 3rd run on trues day and 4th run on Wednesday so I’ll still end up doing two days in a row...?
Doing two days running in a row magnifies the risk of injury a lot. You need to have been running months before doing so and over a year before you’re good to run most days.
That’s helpful thank you! I will find a way to squeeze a days break in 
If that’s your weekly schedule could you do a biathlon on Thursday? Or run Friday take Saturday off.
Great suggestion thank you!
Hi MM
My what a busy week you have Congratulations on starting c25k, i hope you enjoy the journey.
My recommendation is to listen to UnfitNoMore for he is very wise. Also read the pinned post of FAQS. Lots of useful info in there
Have fun

I'd definitely try to find a way you can avoid doing 2 days successive. You may feel fine to do it, but it could have a knock on effect for further runs. It only takes one strain to put you back weeks (as I had a couple of months back) and you'll only end up being mad at yourself for losing that progression. If you find you have nothing to do on a rest day but still want to be active, why not just head out for a walk and see if you can find new routes?
So far I've found walking on the rest days has helped to build stamina (especially with hills) but with a lesser risk of any damage being done.
Thanks! I think I will go for walks in between and my area is so hilly it’s crazy! I definitely don’t want to hurt myself as I’ll end up not being able to do some or all of those things 😱
So tempting to run two days in a row
W8R2 tomorrow then a two days rest
Rest days
How best to change run days.
Running 2 days in a row?
