>>1215417Keep trying, it will never stop hurting but you'll see the results.
Since I started I like to climb a local 400-500m tall hill with some +10-15% stretches, I couldn't do it without stopping but every time I tried to make my stop a little bit further away, very good motivation, in a few weeks I was doing the whole climb unimterrupted, then I went for time, and every 1/100ths of a second gained felt amazing. Now I'm kind of stalled but still like to go up and down a couple of times because it's a beautiful quiet road, but really, cherish those noob gains beacause they're so easily tangible it's like receiving a prize every time you try.
