So I've started doing cardio,
running about 5 miles a day, which takes about 50minutes to 1 hour of cardio a day, And I rest from Friday-Sunday.

My thighs kinda burn? but is it fine? or should I Stop for a while.

    It's okay.

    However, I do suggest instead of running at the same pace or distance everyday, mix it up by doing less cardio in between days to allow your body some recovery time.  Just like lifting weights, lifting heavy and lifting light helps with recovery rather than just lifting heavy and resting. Smiley

    So, m - 5 miles, tuesday - 30 minute briskwalk, wednesday 5 miles (or tabata protocol sprinting), thursday 30 minute briskwalk. Smiley

    is it o.k to do half hour of cardio and then do another half hour about 3 hours later in the day so you are doing 1 hour but in 2 different times

    Yes, if you're fresh after 3 hours; you may do so. Smiley

    Getting cardio every day is awesome but I wouldnt run every day because its asking for overuse injuries in your legs.  If you can mix it up as MercNil says.  Bike, swim or do complexes every other day.
