Breaks from running are not as damaging to your current build up as you might think. The secret is to just do something else. During this two week period, I would perform the exercises that you might be doing for your cross training, but I would do them in the morning and the evening with more reps. I would also throw some walking in as well if possible.





Another thing to do is to spend your time reading up on the newest information in running. You will probably learn new things that will be greatly beneficial to your running performance.





Then, when you return to school and lace up, I would start back in your training where you were two weeks ago. You should be back up to your previous level in no time. And will have fresh new legs and new insight!





I am currently just doing a little maintenance myself until the Holidays are over.





Happy Trails!
Reply:Try doing light running at the house.. run in place and do leg exercises to keep you loose.. 2 weeks shouldn't be that harmful..
Reply:You stay in the shape that you are in for about two weeks, without having any training. After that, your fitness level will go down a little. Since you probably want to keep improving your fitness, you should do some cross training while you are on break.
Reply:Just buy another pair or borrow a pair from some1 else.
Reply:yea, it will be bad because if you don't run than you will fall back into your old ways and that is real easy to do.
Reply:YES u will lose all ALL of ur speed if u don't run every day.
Reply:if you've built a good foundation from training and eating properly take the two weeks off coz it won't take you long before your back in good condition. the body will be able to cope but i know that mental and emotionally you might feel bad of even depressed. I get that personally and also get it from the athletes i coach. its hard to sswitch off on rest but tell yourself you are RESETTING. RESETTING is simply taking your body out of the normal training routine and allowing allowing the body to get a little out of condition before starting a new phase of training. Think of it this way "When a computer is receiving stimuli day after day non stop, it will slow down to the point where in order to get it functioning at full capacity you have to reset it" This applies to the body too. RESET so when you start back up you can climb to your peak more effectively. Its a long journey for any serious athlete because its got to be 2 steps forward 1 step back till you reach your final goal
Reply:it depends on what you run...if you are a sprinter it wont hurt you too much, but if you are distance it will hurt you a great deal.....either way its gonna hurt you....if you don't wanna run then work on plymetrics...and i strongly urge you do to some cross training...swimming laps, or cycling are two ways to keep your endurance and you wont need your running shoes....you may also wanna consider some weight training if you have access to a weight room....but keep doing something! if you are early in your training it will hurt a lot more than if you've been training several months, but its still gonna hurt you...could be the difference between 1st and 2nd place
Reply:i also heard that you lose a lot of your training after a 2 week break...it would probably not take you long to catch up though if you are a consistent runner...


why not buy another pair of the shoes so you have them to run and then you can leave them home in case this happens again...


good luck
