So, basically, I was in very good shape at this point last year (probably top shape), but have taken about six months off of long-distance running. How long might it take to get back into top shape after this much time off (generally speaking)?
Also - I am not at ground zero fitness level. I've still been running (albeit, rather inconsistently, and no workouts) and recently ran 20 miles on zero training.
Go ask your Magic 8 Ball.
Why do you people repeatedly post this same question every day? There is no way to know.
Are people getting stupider? Is it all 15 year olds on this board?

You think this board is special? Like it has some intrinsic value which means only exceptional questions must be asked?
This place is a dumpster fire with like 0.001% good posts. But at least its not reddit.

Depends on how good you were before, how long you'd been running for, how injury resistant you are, and a bunch of other things. Don't expect it to be fast though, give it 3-4 months and you'd probably be near the level you were before. Not sure tho cuz I'm not u
I think it may also depend on which distance you race. It will take longer to get back to marathon shape than 800m shape in my opinion.
3-4 months of good training—but if you are the kind of person to just randomly take of 6 months of training, maybe you won't do 3 months of good training.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
