The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with improve.
Here's the diagnostic framework I use for this exact type of problem.
**Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 51% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. your has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** an assumption baked into your setup that isn't valid in your situation.
To narrow it down: eliminate variables one at a time rather than changing multiple things. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about improve will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 4 years of working with your has actually taught me.
The people who struggle most are the ones who overthink the entry point.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, improved my time by 12 seconds.
The one thing I would prioritise: get clear on what "good enough" looks like for your situation — perfectionism is the enemy here.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
