Missing a run in week 5

My dog was spayed Thursday and am finding it hard to get 30mins to myself to finish week 5! What happens if I miss it, do I need to do the week again in week 5? It was the final run of theee and should be for 20 mins, and it’s 30 degrees outside at 1pm :(

As the guide to the plan states healthunlocked.com/couchto5... C25K weeks do not have to coincide with calendar weeks and having an extra few days between runs will not affect your progress.

That helps a lot thank you as I am feeling a bit whacked with a needy dog! Having to sleep downstairs with her too!

No way I’d have run this afternoon! Don’t worry about it, all that will happen is your legs will become fresher for the next run.
