Week 8 done

[phony_runner]

Did a morning run for a change and maybe the bowl of frosties helped because this wasn't bad at all.

Ran more comfortably as I didn't have the usual stitch nagging me until about the last 5 mins.

Don't know why I'm getting this dull stitch every run now.

Lost Laura at around 20 mins into it as the MP3 player stopped and I couldn't FFWD to the right place so jogged on as I knew roughly where to end it based on r1 and r2 finish points. There's definitely another 2 mins distance in me to face into week 9.

Well pleased now, down the home straight next week hopefully. Finish line in sight!

Well done, and good luck with week 9! The stitch thing is really wierd - I don't think anyone knows exactly what causes it. I haven't experienced one at all since starting running.

Edited to add: One thing I've made a rule is not to eat less than two hours before a run - and mostly I run in the morning, skipping breakfast.

Well done. I haven't had another stitch since drinking half a small tumbler of water before my run, I also have either a banana or a cereal bar but I'm convinced the water does the trick.

I also take a pint of water to bed with me and drink it through the night.
