Raising T will increase your red blood cell count which will increase your aerobic capacity. The life cycle of red blood cells is around 60 days so it will probably take 30 to 60 days to notice a difference. During that time you'll have to keep your T high.
Some reduction in speed/power, but not endurance, is expected on HRT. If you are having problems with exhaustion and lack of endurance then your problem may be other than just low T. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances are other likely causes that are easy and fast to fix.

I don't disagree with your advice, its all actually very good.. sadly my electrolytes, RBC, WBC, all that crap is perfectly fine whenever tested. (Well the hemoglobin could stand to be a bit higher). I'm always very well hydrated too especially when I know I'm going to have a lot of physical exertion.
Ya I tried testosterone for 3 months, hoping in vain it'd raise my stamina levels... I didn't notice any demonstrable difference unfortunately.. and the risks of developing hirsutism or other unwanted side effects (I never really 'masculinized' in the first place) was too scary for me personally to stick with it. It might have something more to do with this huge bubble in my head (about the size of an avocado) squishing the internal brain structure than anything. Oh well... sometimes you just have to do the best you can do.
The test is ... far sooner than 2-3 months away lol. So I'll probably just keep on keeping on. I do know that sometimes the effects are rather quick with shots as a whole, just wondering if anyone else had personal experiences they could relate to.
