Half Marathon and testosterone?

[mousetraps]

Hey, in the spring I've decided to run a half marathon with a friend, since it seems nearly impossible, and something that would challenge me. My half marathon training schedule in the spring is 12 weeks. Guess what else I plan to do for 12 weeks?

Has anyone else had any experiences with running test only (say at 500mg/week) during a period when they did a 5k, 10k, or half marathon?
I suppose there might be chances of tissue tearing or injury, I'm not too sure. The purpose of it would be that I am only going to be lifting probably twice a week (maybe even once!) during that period, since I will be on the road 5-6 days a week. I wanna maintain my current muscle mass basically by doing this. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks!

I did 2xweek 5k last summer with test750/week(plus weight training4xweek).For me it helped a lot for 5k.Dont know about longer distances though?

wrestling on gear sucks it kills endurance and wrestlign on pct sucks. if you are gonna do that then plan it so you finish pct right when you run it....
unless maybe you are doing an eq only cycle

yeah, fighting on gear sucks too...

i did a 5k 2 years ago... i can see where it's help with that since thats basically a 3 mile sprint... I wonder what the effect of testosterone on slow twitch muscle fiber is... what kind of training suits it... ?
