I live in a nice suburb, and my runs stay in my suburb. So my run often doubles back on itself, or crosses the path of other streets that I run on. Because of this, today on my run I was able to spontaneously take a newish route that made my run different, but I knew I was still making the distance I wanted, and, for some strange reason easier. I think this is why I was able to run the 4km! I'd already planned on extending it, and then I basically went clockwise around a block rather than anti-clockwise. Then, I skipped the street I would normally turn left at, and instead turned at the next left.
Changing up my run made it more fun, and made it seem more achieveable, because I felt like I had no expectations to beat or, like, I wasn't aware of previous spots where I'd needed to stop or felt tired.
All up, it took me 30 minutes. For me, this is pretty good :)
Then I came home and did some strength training. The bicycle crunches weren't hard at all, so I don't think I was doing them properly lol I might youtube it to check!
No, yup, looks like I was doing them right... Oh well who knows! This is not a picture of me, by the way! lol
