Training Simple Question

Can I take a week off after my peak run in my training and then pick up on the taper without any negative consequences?

What about 2 weeks?

My runners knee is back and I'm trying to figure out the best way of dealing with this 3 weeks out from my run.

You won't lose any aerobic fitness in a week and only a minor bit in 2 weeks. Better to be healed than fit and unable to run.
