Flamesabers,
I think your regime is similar to mine, I am mainly just doing the carbs, I am running at least 45 mins a day, I am doing squats and some light kettlebell work to make up the difference, thinking about doing planking to firm up my tummy.
As for 'drugs':
I take a Thermabol by Maximuscle, and Raspberry Keytones but I don't think either make much difference. The Thermabol, seems to help me go longer without feeling puffed. I'm on 1000mg PM after run, so only what is residual, oh and I don't eat before running (which I know is bad).
In terms of success, I am on a weight loss target rather than fitness plan (although both seem to go together), when I turn up the pace and do two runs a day, then I see a nice upward motion on [lean mass %], and I never really thought about the androgen issue as I have always recently run while on herbs. Keep going, it does get easier when your muscle mass 'gets used' to the activity you are doing.
I think the most important thing is to manage your diet though, I use both a withings scale and myfitnesspal, using this set of tools has stopped me snacking and made me realise exactly how much I am eating and drinking. So now I plan my meals a bit better and feel better for it.
PM me if you'd like to connect on Withings or MyfitnessPal and I'll give you my account name.
Good luck
