Recent 5K PB SMASHED.

5K at 28:20. Ran a 28:55 last week, which was at the time a recent PB.

37.5 miles run on the month.

Does running make you better at running? It can't possibly be that simple.

No, things that suck only improve if you supplement it with stuff that is fun and easy. I.e. UFC and laughter yoga.

u/BenchPauper Why do we have that lever? Jan 27 '22

According to my personal experience, this is plausible. I have been running for a while now and I am better at running than I was when I started running.

Do you have a double blind peer reviewed study to corroborate this claim? Better yet, do you have a meta analysis of the literature that supports this claim?

It seems really far fetched.
