It takes time to HTFU and you can lose it fast too. Some people never build up the mileage either. Don’t be ashamed to take some comfort in the meantime. Hurting yourself is macho but not actually beneficial to your heart or lungs or muscles. Try cycling shorts or softer saddles or cutout saddles. A wide saddle isn’t going to help as you sit on a narrower part of your sit bones when you lean forward
