Beginner runner need help please!

Hi all,

Currently been doing 2 mile runs with a 5 min break after 1 mile. I have done this twice so far yesterday and today. Just wanted to ask if that is okay for a new runner? Never have ran before in my life and thought about taking it up to improve my mental health and fitness. Any suggestions? Should I keep on doing 2 mile runs with a 5 min break after a mile as I can near enough do this now with a decent pace. Also what days should I run like run then have a rest day or run for 3 days and have a rest day? Also any tips to help out with aches as I am now aching a bit from running so will have tomorrow as a rest. I’m currently just using new balance non running shoes and should probably invest into some actual running shoes any suggestions don’t want to spend a lot but want a decent pair.

Thanks for reading!
