A good analogy would be attempting to run the mile. If you are going from the couch to running the mile, you probably won't be able to do it. But, as you build up strength, by improving little by little each day, you will eventually be able to finish the mile. However, just because you can finish the mile, doesn't mean you can finish the mile in time. But as you keep improving your core strength and conditioning, you will get faster and faster at running the mile.

Some people recommend trying to finish an LR section in 30 minutes to prepare for the inevitable 35 minute section. I wouldn't recommend this until way later in your prep. If you are trying to run the mile in 10 minutes but are preparing by trying to run it in 5 minutes, before your core strength and conditioning can even run it in 10 minutes, your muscles are going to give out and you're going to fall on your face lol
