As I said, dosing is very individual when it comes to endurance. you need to start low, let natural test shut down and levels normalize, monitor you endurance workouts and get blood work done. Then up dose slightly, let levels stabilize, monitor endurance and get blood work done. Continue down that path until endurance starts to tank. Then you have labs and specific dosing to look back on and see where you benefited the most.
As I already said, it requires a lot of time money and energy because the sweet spot is usually very small.
claiming that you ran AAS and it helped your running should post up race results or something concrete. claiming you ran 5 miles with 6 minute mile pace thanks to AAS are frankly hard to believe. if you were that fast you would be winning your 5K's where you live and have a whole room of trophies.
all I can tell you is that i was an endurance athlete and AAS crippled my times. i was getting pumps in my legs after a mile and had to stop.
want to excel at endurance running? then RUN. or use an oxygen chamber. AAS definately is not your answer.. but hey, go for it and see for yourself.

My running was always done on the treadmill because it was more convenient and I could precisely control the incline and speed. On Monday I would do hill repeats, in which I would set the incline at 9% and and sprint for 3 min, followed by a 3 min rest. It came out to 5 total repeats in 30 min.
I always tried to run at a speed higher then the last repeat that I had just completed.. I found a good website,hillrunner.cXX/training/tmillchart.php that shows the pace conversions.
This is important because people obviously run slower going up hill then flat, however V02 consumption could be equivalent to running at a faster pace, which will help you when you're running on a flat surface. I found it was a constant battle between building up your v02, to training your fast twitch muscle fibers to keep up with your lungs..
That was the only dedicated day I put toward running. Every other day, I ran at an 2.5% incline for a straight 30 min, pushing as hard as I could. I did this before lifting.
Here are some things to keep in mind. I found test to be hard on the joints, so cycling with EQ, or deca will help. Tauring will prevent calf pumps. Beta-alane and cordyceps work wonders in increasing V02.
Cycling off I did lose speed / endurance. I only achieved the 6min/mile at the end of my cycle. Now I run at about 7:30 min/mile, but I'm slowly going back down in time. I believe the muscle memory is still their in the legs.
Oh and the great thing about the cycle is that you burn off fat and still maintain a good amount of muscle. While I didn't really increase in size, I did increase in strength. I'm more into that toned look now. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I'm currently training for OCS.
I totally understand your disbelief.. I sometimes find it hard to believe too, but as I only did it on the last couple weeks of my cycle and it was on a treadmill.
May I ask what AAS did you use?? I know their are some that are better then others when it comes to endurance. I have good experience with Sust, or prop stacked with EQ.. I also heard good things about deca and some even say small amounts of d-bol can aid. But, I know others like tren can kill cardio.
i've run almost every AAS you can imagine.. all hurt my cardio. when i say cardio i mean running 3+ miles.
dbol was the worst.. the pumps in my legs made running impossible.
when it comes to short distance sprinting, that is a different story.. AAS can help you there.. endurance running is a different animal though. ever notice at road races what runners look like? well they are not carrying much fat or muscle... this is also another reason why bodybuilding and endurance running does not mix. also try swimming when you are carrying a lot of muscle, you will sink like a brick.
at 5 6.. I was 135 pounds and 5% bf as an endurance athlete... now I am 185 pounds holding a ton of muscle. 2 different bodies for 2 different things.
I've always started out with a low dosage of test around 300 and my EQ dosage always matched my test. I usually did a 15 week cycle and I would go up in dosage slowly. It was basically dependent on how I felt. My first cycle, which was sust/eq, I ended it doing 500 a week of each, but my second cycle, which was prop/eq, I was at 650 a week for each.. Maybe the key is increasing dosage in small incremental amounts??
I also used bcaa's, beta-alane, glutamine, arginine, taurine and cordycepts with each cycle..
I think natural supps that DO NOT retain water in you body can help you run... taking any AAS that will add water weight to you is gonna kill your cardio. as an endurance athlete you CANNOT carry extra weight on you whether fat, muscle, or water. this is why you see runners always go to the bathroom before they run a race, and during the race we never used to drink water.. we would put it in our mouths and spit
