yeh ur supposed to leave at least a day inbetween to let ur muscles recover i do tues thurs then either sat or sun depending on weekend plans
I think it's important to leave a day in between running sessions, especially when you're just starting out - you need to give your body a chance to recover from the new strains you're putting on it. Well done on starting! It's only a few weeks since I was where you are now and yet it seems like much longer because of how far I feel I've come

I know this was some time ago now but for angelicbex and the other ladies at the start of the thread who found it difficult juggling home life, kids, etc and exercise then I would highly recommend kettlebells. Just a 20 minute kettlebell workout has the same effect as running uphill for 40 minutes. You can buy a cheap 5 or 7.5kg from Asda £10/£12 respectively and they do wonders. Just because it is technically a weight don't be fooled. These beasts give you a serious hard workout, both aerobic and anaerobic.
Anyways, I did c25k last year only got to W3D2 but all the weight I lost last year has gone back on and I have found myself with really low self confidence to go out and run again. I haven't ran in 11 months and I do miss it. I was thinking about starting up again, especially since I finish college for the summer before starting university in September I should have lots of time to get some good exercise in.

yeah I just use one, when you get a bit more experience perhaps use two for different moves and that. They really are good, I don't know why there isn't more of a craze over them!
