So you are going to run on rest days and rest on run days?

As long as you don't run consecutive days, then there is not a problem, whatever the day is called........

Doing non impact cross training on your rest days ( or is that run days, in your world) will make you a better runner than running every day, at this stage.

You will be a Sillybilly if you run on rest days, the number one rule is not to run on consecutive days, no running two days in a row, I am glad that you feel fantastic after you run, but irrispective of the day you do run, don't run the following day. 😊 🏃 Onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 2 after a day off not running. 😊

Listen to the advice, you are only on week 2. Embrace the challenge and all the emotions that is brings
