Yes you could, because since you don't train regularly, going out for a 5k run could be very stressful. I've been there, when young 5k was, you could say easy, I could do it any day without warmup or specific training. But now, I can't run 5k without injuring myself. I need to prepare for several weeks before running 5k.

Well sounds like you should train regularly then :)
But overtraining isn’t just getting over exerted and having to rest for a few days or even weeks. It’s a very gnarly condition that’s ridiculously hard to get to. Most of us would mentally tap out long before.
It’s a lot like the difference between needing a break and being burned out. Getting tired and needing a break is normal, being burnt out is a serious condition.
