These things happen to all of us. I'd give yourself a day off - try again Wednesday xx

Thank you Mummycav... I know lol can't believe I was packing it in, even though that happened today I just sulked a bit, I didn't spit my dummy out this time hahaa 😊

Lots of stretching and rolling please
Take it steady and make sure you are warmed up really well too... another day..another run
Oh no!!! I really hope you get it next time. If I were you, and probably listen to the others because they know far more, I'd wait until Wednesday, give yourself an extra day. I've pulled something I suspect, so my W6R3 will be delayed probably until Wednesday, so I do feel your pain, quite literally actually Mine is getting easier with resting, I really hope yours does too! Keep us posted
All the best, Neil

Aaaw I hope you complete yours on Wednesday I'll be rooting for you whilst I'm trying to complete mine! 😉 ive decided am giving myself the extra day and make sure im hydrated too. Surprised I got this far without a stitch or cramp tbh. Good luck Wednesday Neil you can do it! ☺ Regards Laura
I have only had a stitch once - I was running too fast and had, ironically, taken too much fluid on board. It was the running too fast that did it though - I was running with someone else and allowing them to dictate the pace too much. I drink regularly through the day (probably about 3 pints of water all in) but drink very little less than an hour before I run. This seems to help. Good luck for Wednesday. You have to put the bad run out of your head xx

I’m still on Wk6 for the 3rd week. I have just completed run 1 again tonight. Week before last Wk6r3 was a disaster, last week while repeating wk6r2 my knee started playing me up. So rested until tonight. Will do Wk6R2 onWednesday and try and complete Wk6r3 on Friday ( that’s the plan anyway)
Hey I'd be proud of 14 mins I'm way back on w1r1 good luck for tomorrow I bet you smash it 👍🏻
Make it Wednesday give yourself a break and come back rested.... to smash it next time
