2 day gap or more if necessary. You can always go back to week 4 if week 5 seems too hard when you do manage to run. Get well soon.
Well if I get a headache I feel rubbish so wouldn't go run: you know your own headaches. Don't beat yourself up - a 2 day break wont do any harm at all.
It is always sensible to take care of yourself. The program is as much about that as it is about time or distance.

Thanks everyone....I took two paracetamol and went to bed early. Slept well but still feel a bit fragile this morning 
so good decision not to go!
Definitely sensible - it's not worth the risk if you really don't feel good. Enjoy the next runs and best wishes.
