You trained more than everyone else. You arrived first and left last. You did twice the volume of your teammates.
And still, you were not improving.
You watched others with half your dedication run faster. And you did not understand why. More reps, more sets, more hours on the track. Nothing changed.
The truth is brutal: you were training like a middle-distance runner when your body needed to train like a sprinter. Nobody told you. Nobody taught you the difference.
Years of effort poured into a system that was not designed to make you faster. It was designed to tire you out.
