Check this out for all the information you need...there are three runs to each week and it is imperative that you take at least one rest day in between the runs, more if necessary

Keep posting for great support too!

Well done on getting started.

Please read the guide linked to by Oldfloss

It includes a spreadsheet view of all the workouts.

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.
