Chi Running is a great starting point. There is also this Runner's World book, which I have not read personally, but did read the version for women and found really great as a novice runner. You might get your wife to read it, because it would address a lot of her concerns.
You can also swing by /r/running and check out their sidebar for links to helpful articles and other recommendations.
Wow, your story is very similar to mine. A few weeks ago, I started having pain in my left knee. Took a week off, got a knee brace, wore it on my next run. That helped some. Was able to do week 4 without the brace and with little to no knee pain. I just attempted W5D1 (2x22) and the pain came back. I wasn't able to finish. Plus my right shin/calf was hurting as well, similar to what you described.
It seems like this B210K program has really been killing my legs, whereas they were pretty much fine throughout C25K. I've also been generally slower since finishing C25K. Maybe we need to do some strength training to strengthen our legs. But yeah, definitely take a week or two off, then maybe wear a knee brace when you start running again just to be safe (I got this one). Make sure you wear it for more than one run too (I was stupid and only wore it once).
I would go to the doctor, but I can't afford it. You should if you can though.
I currently have that book from the library and it's decent - it has some stuff specific for men and women so some stuff doesn't really apply. I got more out of hal higdon's Run Fast
