A few days rest won't cause any problems just wait until you're feeling better 😊

As stated in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... you will not lose significant condition in the first two weeks of non running.

After that the decline is gradual but real.

Rest for the time you need. Sometimes the extra days rest are beneficial. Start back on week 5 and you should be fine
