Hi Jon .. you can get away with training every 2nd day however you need to have a few principles in place to achieve the ability to maintain fitness and to achieve a certain amount of success off that training
if you back off from yourself and don't over extend your expectations you would be able to maintain an amount of fitness and then be able to build on that within 3 weeks of returning to Terra-firma
remember a more purposeful interval session which stimulates race conditions is best achieved with a short REST .. running as close as possible to desired race pace
then complimenting those sessions with plain aerobic training will provide you with the best conditioning to maintain a state of fitness I think you desire

ps.. the duration of the quality should be no less than 2 minutes and you have to maintain a pulse range for up to 2 minutes which is not over threshold
