Decided to brave it and do run 3 this afternoon rather than tomorrow morning and gosh it was tough! Should have given myself that rest day. Feels great now its done now to worry about week two!

Well done, but please do accept that those who offer advice on this forum do have some genuine reasons for offering that advice.

When you run you create microtears in your muscles which repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while running. No rest, no repair, no strengthening and so increased injury risk.

Take care and follow the plan, please.

Oh I do not doubt at all and welcome all advice, I've learned from my mistake this afternoon and plan not to move onto week two until Monday with some swimming on Sunday. Greatful for all the support :)
