I am absolutely itching to get outside. I don't know whether this is common, but I'm finding week 2 has really fuelled my passion for this. I hope this feeling continues and keep getting the drive to get out there and run.
For doing two in a row, my legs are feeling great today - a little sore but not in a bad way - just in a 'you've worked out' way. Been increasing my protein in my diet to help muscle repairs and look forward to getting back out there.
Eventually, my plan is to run every morning.

When you run, the impact creates microtears in your muscles, which repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while running. Without rest, repair and strengthening are compromised and injury risk increased.
If you want to be the best runner that you can be, then do non impact cross training on your rest days, which will be far more beneficial than running every day. It is not recommended for new runners to run on consecutive days until they have a minimum of six months regular running on their legs.
