Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

In respect of W5 this breakdown may help healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Having had two weeks off, you might have started to lose condition, so take it slow.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.
