After I got back from Bangkok and Tokyo, having been off track for two weeks, it was a bit of a struggle to get back on the track and run the kind of workouts I had been running before going off track.
The first two days were not fun at all--it was all I could do to run 1.5 miles at an 8 minute pace. By the end of the first week back, my workouts started to be about like they had been before I went off track. By the end of the second week back on track, I think I had completely recovered from the time off track. I was able to run a 6:50 mile--fastest time of the year.
I'd say the two weeks off track cost me four weeks of training. The two weeks I was off track I didn't accomplish anything. The two weeks after that were spent making up for the two weeks off track.
Four weeks is a lot.
