She was just starting: week 1 day 1 and I said I would do it with her. She was very slow (as I was when I started), but it brought it all back: how you thought a minute would never end and you had to do 8 of them; how you didn’t know how you would manage one minute let alone twenty. Today I couldn’t believe how short a minute’s running really is. Sexy Michael Johnson seemed to be saying slow down when we had barely started.
Anyway, Kate did better than I did in my first week. She didn’t get really out of breath and she didn’t get massively red in the face. I can remember feeling as if I was going to die. It just shows how amazing the program really is, that it gets you from one minute runs to 10k races and beyond.
) , i ALWAYS sing c25k praises if people are "thinking" of doing it , and i wish your freind every success on the plan , she wont go far wrong with this forum for guidance ! it was defo my lifeline as i didnt have the running feinds i have now when i first started and if it wasnt for here im pretty sure i would have quit ! 
You can coach your friend Kate throughout the whole of the C25K program Flick, it will bring back memories for you when you first did it yourself. It will be particularly interesting when you and Kate get to run 3 of week 5.
That’s unlikely as she lives an hour away and, being a teacher, has limited time. Now she’s done the first day she’s confident about carrying on alone 😊
