Please tell me these speed drills get easier
I went for my second week with Northport running club. The speed drills are soooo hard. And they are all these wiry, ripped runners. And I'm so goddam slow 
Will I just one day start getting faster if I keep doing this? Is that how it works? I am really trying to run fast, nut after a while I crap out and I fall back to my slower time....

Re: Please tell me these speed drills get easier
Do they get easier? Yes. Will they ever be easy? No. IMO, if its easy that means you can run faster! 
And whenever you think you're so slow, just be grateful that you can run!! I'd give anything to run right now, even if it is slow.
You'll get there!  Just keep up the speedwork!

Love this! She's exactly right. They are challenges, so you will always be pushing yourself on the track.
And don't forget it was BRUTAL yesterday!

I find that speedwork always really kills but you get great results that way!

Re: Please tell me these speed drills get easier
How long are you guys out there on Tuesdays? Have you gone to the hill workouts on Thursdays? I am seriously thinking about going to these sessions.
I'll probably make you feel better because I am sure I am much slower than you are! I have about 60lbs to lose and I need some motivation!!! I haven't done ANY exercise in the last 6 weeks

The hill workouts are pretty hilly. The summer is in Greenlawn and Centerport which has some intense hills. Stony Hollow/E Maple, Fleets Cove, Meade, Laurel Hollow/Wells.

Thanks for the info.... maybe I'll just stick to the speed workouts for now until next year.
I can only go every other Tuesday though. Would I still see results even though I can't go every week?
