newbie question

Hi everyone.  I was wondering if i started the couch 2 5 and I'm feeling ok do I have to take a break in between days?  I just started on week 1 day1 yesterday.  I had no problems at all.  coco135

Initially, I think it's best to stick to the plan and run only three days a week to avoid overuse injuries.  Consider other activities on your in-between days, such as walking, cycling, swimming or strength training. New runners are susceptible to shin splints, IT band problems, etc., because we often try to do too much, too fast before our tendons and ligaments have an opportunity to adjust to the new activity. 

Welcome to the running world!
