If you're going for distance, you've just got to find your pace/groove/tempo etc. A lot of it has to do with correct form as well.
Once you find your pace, just zone out while listening to music or something, you can run for a long ass time while doing that.

If you're talking about sprints, the only solution is to stop being a lil bitch

Smoking weed makes running fun for me

Holy shit I'm not alone. All of my friends who run say they could never do it high, and I've never seen any mention of it on the internet

You have to stop thinking and zone everything out but the beat in your music and the rhythm of one foot ahead of the other

I really struggle to do this
It becomes so painful sometimes I have to scream to do that extra minute

Big if true

Its kinda long distance, but as fast as possible as its under timed conditions, so worst of both worlds.

It just becomes agony. I always feel like giving up minutes before I finish, and I am in so much physical pain.

Doesn't help I weigh almost 100kg ahhhhh

Find your pace (after warming up, say 5-10 minutes) where you can breathe, say, 4 steps in, 4 steps out.

For me I tend to go 5 out, 4 in on steady state for about 20 minutes and then when it's getting too uncomfortable, work toward shortening the cycle: 5/4,5/4,4/4; 5/4/,5/4,4/4 ... and keep shortening it down until it's like 3-out/2-in at the very end. I've had running partners who can gun it at 2 steps in/2 steps out, but that makes me lightheaded after a minute or so.

Basically, you can't go as fast as you remember from when you were a kid because you weighed 50 pounds then and now are trucking around at least 100 pounds more than that. If you can't sustain a steady breathing pace, you are going too fast and are going to fail out too soon.

Having written all that, I'm not by any means a super fast runner, but I'm in excellent cardio/running shape for my age. YMMV.

anon, you don't know me and I don't know you. We have never met and we likely never will. After today the odds of us crossing paths again is astronomical. I can say with some certainty that it will never happen again. However I want to say to you, you have helped me in a way you can't imagine. You've just "clicked" running for me.

When you go to sleep tonight know that you are helping at least one person make it.

We are all going to make it brehs.

Listen to music that feeds into your primal emotions, and get into it. Become lost within your thoughts and breathing. personally the Tv never has anything good on, and seeing my reflection on the black screen is oddly motivating.

>how do I make running easier
just run more, fatty, get off the treadmill and go outside

What do you mean by steps in and steps out

No music, no tv, no distractions. Run outside in the cold. Wear less clothes. Feel the road. Let yourself slip into a rythmic trance of footfalls. Become zen.
