I know we are not supposed to run on consecutive days , I run Monday, Wednesday and Fridays but I am starting to feel addicted to the feeling after doing a workout. I just completed week 6 and am so proud of myself. I used to do Joe Wicks' HITT sessions in the mornings and just wondering if I can still do these on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Any thoughts?
Can I exercise inbetween running days? - Couch to 5K

You certainly can exercise. In fact, its not recommended to just sit on the couch on your rest days. Strength training, yoga, swimming, walking, gardening, cycling - anything that doesn't cause the same high impact stress on your body as running.
Good luck 👍

As stated in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... doing non impact exercise on your rest day will make you a better runner, so carry on.
