Where should I resume?

I finished week 4 and then got a back injury do I've had 2 weeks of rest. I'm planning on doing a run tomorrow but wondered if I should start at week 5 or if I should choose a different starting point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😁

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.
