brilliant progress so far.
If it's "really bad pain", please get it checked out by a professional!
Then, have you seen the FAQ? healthunlocked.com/couchto5... . There's lots of tips for running safely and slowly and injury-free, after your pain is resolved. Make sure, now you're in week 6 especially, that you have good running shoes fitted after gait analysis, stretch after runs, etc etc. Basically read the FAQ, it's all in there
good luck!
