Not at all. Hibernation like sleep.

Is your sleep restless? That is the easiest way to figure out over training.
@Dusty Heaters Whats your most recent race result? Time and distance.
Good question — regrettably I’ve never actually given my 100% race effort in any distance this whole year. My closest was 1 month ago where I ran a 9mi route at 6:37/mi avg pace. I had more in the tank, but it was about 90-95% effort in good conditions, untapered. 2mi - 13:07, 5k - 20:24, during that workout.

I realized that I swapped the wording. I meant easy pace where I put marathon pace regarding the largest portion of my running.@Dusty Heaters - I'd agree with @Fueco that you need to think about your pace and power and how much you are doing at particular paces.
Macmillian - https://www.mcmillanrunning.com/ - whose ratios I try to follow, is very similar to Daniels. Most of what I do is based on the same division between Long / Marathon-pace (easy) / Tempo / Interval (speed) and also Recovery (which is even slower than Long).
My ratios this month in terms of mileage (not including the marathon I'll do at the end of the month) are
62% Long (9:30 - 9:40 min/mile)
17% Marathon Pace (c.8:15 min/mile)
12% Tempo (6:45 min/mile)
9% Intervals (6:05 - 6:10 min/mile)
I tend to run faster than recommended doing tempo and intervals, but that's because it feels fine to do so. However, I really do try to stick to the paces at longer distances because that is where you really mess things up if you run too fast - and I think that's what you are doing.
Incidentally, I am not actually sure about the benefits of the Marathon Pace element; the only thing it seems to do is remind you what pace you should be running at for marathons. Mike, my World Masters champion friend I mentioned above, only does Long Run pace (80%) or Tempo and Interval training (20%) - and if you look at my ratios, if I just folded the Marathon-pace into the Long Runs, that's pretty much where I'd be.
