Be careful with your running, if you haven't done exercise on a daily basis for 2 or more years you should be taking break days for your body to repair itself.
I don't know anything about your physical health/distances run, but it is generally unwise to train so intensively without having a solid background of running behind you.
The body needs time to mend the micro-fractures in your muscles that occur when your run (this is how your body rebuilds stronger each time). Bones, tendons and joints also need a lot of time to strengthen (months/years) whereas bones take less time.
I'm glad that you're progressing well, but it is better to do this gradually and well and cultivate a long-term good habit, instead of going all out and crashing out at the end.
I'm happy to share any of experience from my 2 years of running.
