I just had a similar problem only I did my ankle in in a hike.

Bad news: It's best not to run until it's healed.

Good news: I was able to pick up where I left off after a week off!

Do not run...just heal and know...those runs will be there,, waiting

Thank you for your a reply and I will rest today see how it is tomorrow but I don’t think I’ll be able too so might just leave it till Sunday and repeat week 5

I turned my ankle last year and it can take a long time to heal, because of relatively poor blood supply to the area. I cycled for a few weeks, to improve blood supply and keep supporting muscles working, without any load bearing. It worked for me.

Don't be tempted to run until recovered.
