Awesome. For many the first is the hardest.

I’m aching today though. Is it best to leave it until it goes?

The correct practice is to have a rest day and do your next run on Tuesday or next convenient day. A little muscle ache should have faded by then.

Make sure you stretch after your runs and continue stretches on off days too, foam rolling is good too
