Why do conditioning workouts never get any easier?

Alistair Ramsay - Thursday, May 26, 2011
I am afraid conditioning workouts are always hard no matter how fit you get. As you get fitter you are able to push yourself to greater and greater levels of performance (greater speed, shorter rests, more reps). This means the relative intensity of the conditioning workout remains largely unchanged.

HOWEVER...if you were to go back and repeat some of your workouts from earlier in your conditioning journey you would almost certainly find them a lot easier. This is a really useful trick to demonstrate how far you have come. It is very satisfying to stroll through a workout which a few months before almost finished you!


Take home message - hill sprints will always be brutal but that does not mean you are not making progress!
