Importance of rest and recovery
Doing too much, too soon, too fast
One of the common pitfalls for the newbie runner is to start from doing nothing to relatively heavy training in a short period of time. If you're not giving your body lots of time to build up your running, you might be in for a stress fracture.
Going with "too much, too soon, too fast" is not getting enough rest. Not just sleep but rest for your bones and joints too. When you start running, run for half as many days as you don't.

Doing Too Much Too Soon
When we start our diets we tend to get excited about counting calories. It's not far off that we also overexercise but undereat.
