Back to 5k after a month off, tips?

I’ve been injured so my exercise has mostly been walking but today I feel ready to have a go at running.
Never been fast but was running 5k 3-4 times a week.
Any advice before I put my trainers on?

Take it slowly, and don’t be dispirited if you can’t run far.

Thanks @Sammysquiz I did it without stopping albeit very slowly.
My Garmin tells me I was threshold or maximum the whole time so I’ve got some fitness to regain.

How about walk/run intervals to start with?
