How long before I feel normal on a run?

Training Advice/Discussion General

5 years ago 07/15/2018 3:18pm EDT

I got injured at the end of last track season with a stress fracture the day after a 1500 where I ran 3:52. I took 6 weeks off where I wasn't motivated to do much cross training except a 20-30 mile bike ride 2-3 times per week. Now that I am back running and fully healed, I am feeling VERY out of shape compared to where I was at before. How long before I have regained all my fitness that I have lost?

re: injuredboy

normal on a run: 1 week or so

fit enough to start tempos: 2 weeks

4:00 1500 shape: 2 months of moderate training

WTF! I thought that would come back so much faster! 2 months sounds like a long time for only 4:00 1500.
