Feel free to define “average” how you see fit. This isn’t about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

    Well, generally speaking the easiest way to do that is to stop only once you’re past the 20k mark.

      Have you tried this “not stopping” technique yourself? Sounds like snake oil, to be honest…

        Not stopping would require me to actually start first. I haven’t gotten that far yet. Seems to be the difficult part.

          I feel like the first week is actually the hardest. Then I start getting excited when I improve my times or distance and it becomes so much easier.

          My problem is that vacations and winter really ruin my motivation. Who wants to run for an hour when it’s pouring rain or freezing outside?

            Bad weather for long runs is shit. Short runs tho? Just beast mode it! Conquer the elements! At least thats what I tell myself.
