You are doing the right thing.
As stated in the guide to the plan, healthunlocked.com/couchto5... you lose no significant condition in the first two weeks of non running.
After that loss of condition is gradual.
All any of us can do after a lay off is to go out and see what we can comfortably manage, then build back up gently, using C25k or something similar as a guide to weekly increase.

A week off won’t be a problem - you won’t have lost your fitness. Take care.

As the others have said , it will be ok .
The important thing is you take the time to recover.
I missed 16 days through injury then was able to resume where I'd left off.
Take your time ! 👍
