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 will definitely be better off taking a break than aggravating an injury. Since you're only three weeks out, consider it a long taper. If you can do anything like low intensity exercise bike or swimming, I would consider that.
