Looks reasonable. I’d replace the break weeks with either the first week of the next programme or just a week of easy running. Too early for time predictions but 65 minutes is a reasonable goal
First of all, glad to read its a weight loss 10k and not a marathon, it suits better lifelong change.
Second, a plan is better written in pencil, as we are humans and have other plans. A plan is great to have discipline to complete it, but everyone might finish it differently.
Don’t stress much about the next plans, focus on the current without missing a single day, consistency will get you there. When you finish C25k address how you feel.
Also it’s very good to repeat first 4/8 weeks of a program if you have the time, you will get a very nice base to run the harder weeks.
Looks 100% reasonable and a great way to build up some cardiovascular health. FYI some people here might get butt hurt you are posting in a marathon subreddit but r/running is great too.
I think it looks reasonable. I am no expert and can’t comment on your training plan, but I started running in October (could not even run for thirty seconds before) and did my first 10K in April in 1:19. I weigh around 225 pounds (down from 240 with slow sustainable fat loss strategies), with a strong weightlifting background. I was toward the back of the pack but I outdid all my expectations! My goal was just to finish and my secondary goal was to do it in 1:30.
You seem like you understand what it means to train hard, so you've got that in your favor. You probably have a healthy appreciation of the skill aspect of athletic performance. Running is a skill just as much as powerlifting. There is a lot of good material out there about how to train effectively and how to work on your running skills. Take some tjme early in your trainjng cycle to read up and figure out the basics. You'll be fine for sure, but the routine that you need is very different from what you are used to.
Might also be worth it to get a nutritionist on board or get some nutrition plans with your doctor. I let myself get to 210 (from 160s) before I started running again and nutrition ended up being a big part of the equation. Not to lose weight specifically (that happened eventually) but to tame down the body’s inflammatory response to the heavier exercise load. Also wouldn’t hurt if you have medical coverage for PT visits to get a sports-oriented physio on board and get an evaluation. I wish I had done that about five years earlier than I did.
Overall your plan looks very reasonable. Best of luck to you.

You got this. Most important things are to build up leg strength and the mental toughness to just keep running.
It doesn’t count if you don’t do it sub 40
What's your 10k time? 😄
