This morning, at about 6.30, I went running. It was the first real cardiovascular exercise I've had in nearly 6 months.
Oh my god, you get unfit really quickly!
After 4 minutes I started to feel sick. After 5 it was gone again. On the home stretch, 20 minutes in, it came back and I really thought I was going to puke.
And my legs have felt feeble and weak all day.
How long does it take to get back into shape?
I'd guess I was going 8-10 mph (though I'm really not sure), for 20 minutes.
To be fair, most of it didn't hurt (or make me fear for my stomach lining), but I used to be much fitter than this!
Still, I feel great for having done it.
Not sure whether I could keep up the early mornings though - but even in nice areas I've found that you can expect to get crap from random a**holes when you go running. Where I live now you're just asking for trouble.
To be fair, it probably wouldn't be the kind of crap mentioned in my other thread ('How far...') - well, at least that'd probably be rare.
But it's not nice to deal with any of that sort of stuff, and I'd much rather avoid it.
And I'm a poor student, so no gym for me either.
Thinking about it, it's really messed up when you can't go running in any populated area without expecting to get crap from strangers.
Are there any nice areas of the UK, where you can expect everyone will at least treat people with respect?
Anyway, got off topic a bit. How long does it take to get back to non-puking levels of fitness?

8-10 mph over 20 minutes = between 2.7 and 3.3 miles roughly

It took me 4 months, all you need to do it become ill but i think that sort of ruins the getting in shape bit. Pleased not to have put it back on yet anyway.
