Beatin' on the Rock
Should I do my regular runs on the non-C25K days then my Saturday long run? That gives me one full day off (Sunday).
Short Story - A friend who was training for a half marathon needed help getting through 8, 9, 10, 11 mile runs in prep for her race. At the same time, I was scheduled to do 13, 15, 17 etc in prep for a full. Her pace was about 2 minutes slower than mine. My first thought was that it would hamper my plans. But I decided to join her through her runs at her pace,wave good bye,, then continue to finish my long runs at my pace. I don't think I lost much from my training.

Also, make sure your C25K participants realize that the limited amount of running they will be doing will contribute little or nothing toward weight loss. In fact, some of them will actually gain weight do to an increase in appetite. They will need to reduce their calorie intake as well as exercise to lose weight. Tom

No, they won't. Some might. They may need to maintain current caloric intake. If their intake remains stable - assuming a stable current weight - they'll lose weight. Period.
