    How is this even possible

    I can run one mile at 10 mins and I’ve been running once a week for like 3 months

      Running capacity and speed increase was very non-linear for me. It was like day 1: running is impossible, I choose obesity. Day 14: wow thats the furthest I’ve ever run! Day 60: I guess that was the farthest Ill ever run. Day 180: maybe not. Day 400: I just dont want to run anymore. Day 500: I can run as far as I need to if I hate myself enough and crave agony.

        I went from “haha I can relate to this” to “oh now I’m sad” so fast

      I mean, doing something a dozen times doesn’t make you that good at it. Even in OP’s post, 9:45/ mile is average.
