Wanting to start running again after back injury

Hiya, so I am a crossfiter for over 3 years. Back in March I hurt my back on a deadlift. Bulging L4 and L5.  So now with the gyms being closed and recovering, I felt I wanted to start running again. 

My mile time was fresh about 8 mins around 10 with a 20lb vest. My 2 5k times were 41 and 36 mins with alot of walking breaks in the middle. 

 

So my question is, has anyone slowly tried to recovery with running from a back injury. I still get a jelly leg when I walk every now and then, and when I bend a certain way I still get a shot of pain in my hip flexor. My quad is tight I noticed from doing squats the past few days. 

Could using c25k be a good start especially with the walk run pattern of the first days?
