W1r1 done it might not sound much to most people on here but I have started and up and running. My question is to people that are more experienced than me at this but what sort of exercises if any should I do on a rest day?

Well done. Everyone of us on here all started with that very same run, so we know how much it means.

congratulations on completing first run, you have made a good start🏃‍♀️

Initially just keep each run slow,🐢 drink plenty water and make sure you take rest days. In the early days walking on rest days helpful

good luck on your journey to becoming fitter
