I started cycling proper last July. The journey to work was 7 miles each way and at the start that was long enough! By Christmas I was extending it and doing long rides to take me to 200mile a week. Now I do anywhere from 250- 400 miles a week, 7000 already this year so far, and am in the process of training for time trials, can cycle 100miles pretty comfortably at good speeds , and am taking on every tough climb in Britain one by one. Nothing has beaten me yet. Not going to lie it's taken a lot of hard work and dedication but I've discovered a hidden talent it seems

But most of the time it takes a lot of effort. I just go faster and faster for the same effort

In short, yea it gets easier

I'm as knackered at the end of every ride, as I was the first one. I'm a lot quicker now though and I can go a lot further.

Everything gets easier. Take it from a 52 year old fat lass on a bike who's can now cycle inclines and do a 16 mile round trip commute after only 5 weeks.
