4 WEEKS NO RUNNING, race?

College Running D1

I have not run for 4 weeks straight due to injury. Took 10 days off completely, and have been cross-training in the pool consistently 60-90 minutes per day since then. I was in great shape prior to this, I have come to terms with my season being over, but our team has a big meet this weekend, and I'm thinking about giving it a go because it would be my last race ever...

What can I seriously expect to run considering the time off??

I ran 16:15 for 5k 5 weeks ago (1 week before I got injured)

re: 5ker

how many of these threads are you actually going to post? Nobody can correctly predict what you can run so just run for Christ sake and find out!

I took 3 weeks off with "no workouts" and just easy running @ 8:00 pace, about 50% of my regular mileage and raced 25 seconds off my 5K PB. Your situation sounds a lot more serious.
