I started C25K on May 3rd on the treadmill at the gym. I have the app on my android C25K Free
I did C25K on May 3rd and 4th. Walk 4.0 jog 5.5
Then week May7th I did it 4 days in a row Mon Tue Wed Thu walk 4.2 jog 6.0
Week May 14th the Tue Wed Thu walk 4.2 jog 6.2
Week May 21th I did 5 days in a row Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri walk 4.2 jog 6.0-6.2
This week I did today which brings me to Week 4 Day 3. Walk 4.0 Jog 6.0-6.2
I have been able to get thru all the runs so far but now am I wondering if I am doing it correct.

1. You should be taking rest days in between running days... It's not so essential now as it will be later in the program (week 5+). Running five days in a row is not something you want to make a habit of.
2. There is no need to do four or five days of the same week UNLESS you really want to, or you don't feel confident "moving to the next level". I don't see a problem with it and lots of people extend the program based on what they're comfortable with.
I would personally suggest not doing more than 3 days a week (4 at most) as to prevent injury or overexerting yourself.0
