I didn't mean necessarily that you were misinterpreting it, just that it is misinterpreted here. In this thread and on the forum in general. I didn't fail to read the OP's post, and I stand by what I said. "It doesn't get easier, you only get faster" applies only to max effort situations. Period.

Edit: I went back and reread what you wrote, "but they never get easy." I'm going to go and declare that fail. I don't agree. You are wrong, they can get easy if you get stronger and chose to go slower.
