Probably almost nothing, relatively speaking. You don't train 6-7 days a week at an elite level and suddenly lose it all with a month of rest. A large lung capacity, high VO2 max, improved mitochondrial density...those serious physiological changes built over a decade take near as long to entire diminish. If his Achilles was fully healed, he could jump out of bed right now and jog a 30 minute 10km; even if he took 6 months off no running. Anyone who has trained with elite athletes knows their performances only ever change by 1-2%, even after large rest.

He would of literally lost his banana bread. The guy is now TOAST.
He’s literally so unfit he’d probably would of dropped out of his next marathon like fatty bekele

He'll be back soon, don't worry we got him on a zero gravity water treadmill.
Surely he can't use that after achilles surgery. It's reduced impact, but not zero impact.
Aqua jogging?

Yep, units cancel.

I bet he’s putting 4-5 hours a day in on the hand bike. There’s no way he’s not doing any aerobic work.
It sounds like you are serious? Do you know that THAT would do nothing for your running? It would work your heart, but not your working muscles at all. No mitochondrial development (in the legs) at all. He would be better off swimming , than doing this. At least it would work the legs minimally. If his tendon can bear it, he could cycle, even though it will not condition the running muscles.
He would likely DNF a marathon if he had to run it today.

A month rest? I’ve had the surgery on both heels and it’s 10 weeks in a cast + crutches. Then you start rehab. Even with the resources available to him he’s going to lose 12 months of real training
Yeah but you are not an elite runner. I think that’s the point Salmon Rice was saying. He will be fine. Hey bet he will come back really rested. When the last time he took so much time off?

You can aqua jog and cycle in a boot. He'll be fine. No more fitness lost than, say, after a stress fracture.
Lmao......and that sir, is excellent comedy. Well done.

1% slower than 26:44 is 27:00-flat. He has only broken 27:00 twice while training his hardest. Care to revise your theory?
If Bekele is fatty then explain how he led a big marathon to 29k with an injury and 7 weeks training and at 2:04 pace. If a fat person can do that then you must be a beach whale.

He’s literally so fat he would have of have of literally exploded if he’d run a step further. Also if he’d finished the race, they would have of have of dope tested him for EPO, then he’s literally screwed
Who are we talking about again?

Well, if you’d of literally gone to school instead of literally masturbating to pictures of fatty Bekele, then you’d of literally learned to read and your brains wouldn’t have of literally hurt
