Yes I'm feeling more consistent and stronger than I did in my first 3 cycles before taking a break. I haven't really had any issues or serious muscle fatigue since getting back on the routine. I guess I'm learning to be more reasonable and let the progress come naturally rather than pushing too much.
I usually feel ready before the bigger workouts, but the recovery runs are actually the hardest ones to start. I usually feel more tired and not as fluid when I start, and then toward the end my legs start to feel lighter and I can go a bit faster. Is that normal? I would say I usually start with a pace around 5:30 and end with something closer to 5:10. The speed increases but my effort stays the same.
