I realize that listening to your body is the best advice and my body is telling me not to run on consecutive days. I have gone from being a non-runner in May to running BF 3-3.5 miles 3 times a week for the last month, but running never on consecutive days. Running was going so well that I decided to add 1 more day a week. Ran 2 miles on Wednesday, 3 milles on Thursday, no exercise on Friday. Muscles were a little tight on Friday and this morning, but not bad. I managed to run 3.5 miles this morning, but felt real pain and cramping for the first time since I started running barefoot. I am curious about when other new runners found they could run on consecutive days.
