Finally managed 5k after ankle injury and gradually built it up again having completed Couch to 5k a while ago.

Well done. I too am getting back to it after knee injury, frustrated by the slowness of recovery. How long has it taken to get back to 5k?

Probably about 8 months

Ooh I'm only a few weeks in - patience is a virtue, well done.

Better to build it up again and not do too much and risk prolonging injury further. It will test your patience though.
