6-week beginner running plan

As promised to myself, as soon as I arrived in New-Zealand, I started the good habits again: drinking 1.5 lt of water/day, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid eating gluten and start running again.
Each day I run I feel excited, hopeful and scared at the same time....
Excited to run again and doing something positive for my well-being, hopeful that soon I will feel better and scared that I will feel as down as I felt last November when I got hit by depression but at the same time, I know that if I keep eating healthily and work out regularly, I will be fine.
My sister sent me this running plan for beginners that is really good. It's for beginners and although I used to run 10K a while back, I haven't run for over 12 months so rather than going for a 20 min run straight away and ache, I decided to do it gently.
Each day I run, I feel great. 
The plan is in French so I've translated it for you. It's normally over 6 weeks but I'm doing it over 6 days just because I know I can, I want to and I gave myself 3 weeks in NZ to put myself back on tracks before heading back to London.
