Well done, keep it up.
Regarding easier weeks in training... Following various Triathlon training plans has had its effect on me when I'm planning my training.
Right now I'm coming back from injury and trying to lose weight so I'm just doing 3 runs a week and will be extending one of them from 5k up to 10k over the next month or so.
But for plans when I'm more focused on building distance or speed I tend to follow the theory of progressively increased workloads for 3 weeks and then an easier week to aid recovery. That seemed to work for me as it stopped it all feeling so relentless.
