4 to 6 cycles should signal a short off-period followed by the build-up
if you do this in a planned manner the athlete comes back stronger
a planned break is often the best format
let me know how you would like to plan it and take a look at this thread to see how he took a very short break and is now back on course
see how he progressed

and then jump to the last few posts to see how he is progressing
the planned break often takes the athlete to the next level
unfortunately, there is often a thing called life that gets in the way of running
