If you want to continue training with him, and he's understanding and patient, an idea would be to start the c25k program in the first week, with the agreement that when the plan says to walk, you both walk and when the plan says to run, you both run - at the slower person's pace.

I agree with what you said. Thanks for the link. I saw it somewhere else in this forum but forgot where. I think I'm going to try the c25k next week. I sent an email to DH and I think about the training, so we'll see if he can be patient.

Good, I'm glad I didn't offend!

I think you'll really enjoy the c25k. I've never run before in my life, and I *so* enjoy the feeling of running a half mile without stopping (I'm only at week four). Well... I enjoy FINISHING running a half mile without stopping, at least.

Good luck!
