    Came back from a intense pre xc training camp on sunday and have been essentially ( tried running several days unable to finish workout) unable to run due to an on and off it band injury.

    Will i lose fitness/ how long does it generally take to lose fitness?

    I want to be ready for a mile race in two weeks and xc season and i am worried about being prepared as it is my senior year of high school and im trying to qualify for states.

    Also anyone know any good it band stretches/ habe any advice for recovery?

    Thanks

    If it's just a couple of weeks you'll be fine as long as you cross-train a little. I recently lost the last three weeks of my season due to injury (one all cross-training, two barely running and supplementing with cross-training) and then ran a PR in the 10K by a minute. It was basically a forced taper.

    Since you're going into early season, if maintaining fitness is a big concern I'd look into aquajogging as it's the best way to keep running-specific fitness. Some variation of this schedule is very good:
