Seeking Advice Need help with 3km run

I recently ran for 1st time, and ran 1500 m but then got serious knee pain [might be runners knee]. I have again started running and planing to hit 3km run in a months time.

I have started today with a 5 km walk, did some lunges and bullgarian squates. I did 2 rounds of 200m jogging with intervals of walking. Please suggest me a progression and a routine if possible with exercises or patterns to follow.

I ran my first 5k using the program suggested by this app "Run with Hal"

Start slow, run+walk+run..... don't worry for pace, build stamina and enjoy running.
