Squats and C25K on the same day?

So I'm thinking I will do the squats on the same day I do C25K so my legs can have a rest day. Or do they work different muscle sets? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I know next to nothing about things like this.

I don't know much about the muscles and all that fancy stuff, but I did squats on C25K on the same day and survived.

They pretty much work the same large muscle sets (quads, hamstrings, glutes, etc.). You would probably want to do squats after you run.

I just started all of these programs, but I'm going to do squats on 100 pushup days, and do c25k on 25 pullups days.

I plan on doing c25k and squats on the same day (MWF), Pushup and Situps off days (TTS) and Sunday being the complete rest.

Today was the first day of squats and done it right after c25k session before cooling down. Once it's done, I continued with the cooling down walk.
