Why Is running STILL this hard ...365 days later

I've been running for 365 days — and somehow, running still feels hard. A year ago, I couldn't run for five minutes. Now I've run my first 10K, entered my first race, and stayed consistent for an entire year. But I expected running to feel easier, and I expected to be faster. This is the honest reality of my first year of running as a beginner — the progress, setbacks, injuries, frustration, and everything I didn't expect. If you're a beginner runner, slow runner, or just starting your own running journey, follow along as I figure out how to get better. #negativsplitrunner #run #running
