having completed c25k in lockdown and then neglected it 😏 I have started again with the wonderful Denise Lewis and got to week 3. But I have developed stiffness at the back of my knees,although no pain. Anyone else had this?

Welcome back to the forum.
Stretching immediately after every run, nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... while muscles are still warm and supple, pulls out contractions, avoiding carrying tensions into the next run and also improves recovery by improving blood flow, as recommended in the guide to the plan.
Many people do not hold their stretches for long enough or put enough effort in. Hold post run stretches for 30 seconds and make sure the pull is strong enough to be on the verge of discomfort
You would also benefit from doing regular leg strengthening exercises, as linked to in the guide to the plan.
