Breaks in training consistency can happen for so many reasons. You can get sick, go on vacation, get busy at work, need extended recovery after a race, or find yourself injured. The key to long term improvement is not that you cannot ever take a break, it’s how to come back successfully. The road back to running will not be identical for everyone, but there are some safer guidelines to follow.
