You do not lose your fitness in 1- 2 weeks.

Depending how long and how you feel recommence where you left off and if necessary repeat it until you are comfortable.
Someone else suggested Rignold🤔 just go for your training run WK 2.3 eg. and take it from there.
You are the only person who can monitor you.🤔🌟👏👏
2 weeks off is generally the degradation timeframe, so if you’re away for that length, then just wind back up slowly, if it’s a shorter timeframe, then pick up where you left off, just take it slow and steady!
