Running as a second language

Hi,
recreational cyclist here, have a bike trainer at home and use it casually, 1-2x a week, going by feel rather than by a plan. Got tempted into giving running a try and have started the couch to 5k program (essentially running 3x a week with increasing intensity). Not wanting to injure, what are good approaches to keep cycle training up while going through the c25k program? My muscles have been pretty sore from the first runs and I have been resting them, instead of doing any trainer exercise. I'd like to keep cycle training up somewhat, but also not overload my body.

Thanks!
