    BT to be honest ifs its going to cause agro I'd just let her get on with it the first few times...explain why you think run/walk is a bad idea and leave it at that...

    Its a pretty short timescale to 'run' a 5k anyway if she does no running...so let her have a go and then see if she gets the bug - then you can train her properly later :D

    (but then I am an agrument avoidance type :p)

    I think you're right, I'll suggest a tailor made plan (taking into account times we're away!) and see if she agrees!

    :rotfl: at UK's post!

    I too like to avoid arguments with people I can't choose to ignore as easily as on an internet forum, though!

    Yeah well if people cant use logic then I am going to point out the error of their ways - totally different to 'arguing' :D

    Good news! My wife has accepted my training plan and suggestions with no fuss! Looks like I'll be coaching her through the sessions as well. Hopefully that will be as tension free as well! Not holding my breath though.
