I’d recommend having a look at your local running clubs... many do C25K nights and have qualified run leaders and coaches. My main reason for saying this is that paces are different for everyone and trying to keep up with a faster running buddy isn’t the best thing to do... and an inexperienced runner may not be able to slow down comfortably. A good run leader should be able to sort these things out.
