The C25K is an amazing training program! You should definitely take it at your own pace, and not be afraid to progress more slowly than suggested if needed. Oh, and shoes! Make sure you invest in great shoes before you get too far into the program - the last thing you want to do is injure yourself.
However, I also must say, you can really surprise yourself, especially with that first 20 minute run in week 5, lolz. I remember feeling like that would be a total impossibility (how can I possibly go from running two 8 minute intervals to running 20 minutes straight?!?!!), but what a great feeling when I was actually able to run that day as scheduled!
Good luck to you, Andrea, I hope you enjoy the program.
