10 days ago I finished wk5 & then came down with a cold. Hopefully this Friday I’m planning on resuming. Should I go straight in to the week 6 plan or restart week 5.

As stated in the guide to the plan, 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 for a gentle run and see what we can comfortably manage, then use C25k or something similar to rebuild stamina and resistance to injury.
Take care.
Many thanks.
