This study shows that if a man refrains from masturbation, on the seventh day, there will be an increase in testosterone by 45.7%. It only spikes on the seventh day so the first six days are normal, and after the seventh day the testosterone levels go back to normal(so everything past the eight day).
Anyway, would this spike make you go faster in a 5k?

Just musing here --but it's not the testosterone that makes you faster and stronger. It's your accelerated muscle growth that is fueled by testosterone that makes you faster and stronger. You don't just get a jump in your T and instantly turn into Superman. You have to train with it. "High T" by itself does nothing.
