Longer Distance Runners?

Does anyone here run half marathons? I'm trying for my second, but had to take a week off for the flu. I was wondering if anyone has some advice for getting back on the roads.

That’s awesome! I run some myself but nothing like a marathon. Also currently in bed with the flu. It’s a beast this year.

I have run several 1/2 and full marathons.  After a week off I would suggest ramping back up slowly to your weekly average before the illness.  I would not jump right back in because you would be susceptible to injury or at the very least, sore legs.  After a week or so, your legs will let you know if you are ready to resume your normal training schedule.
