Finally got to complete W2 after life getting in the way and having to re-set after W2R2. I thought I did quite well but 13yr old son suffered with a really bad stitch....any ideas on stopping them?

Possibly going too fast and not enough hydration taken in the general course of living, not just while running. Slowing down and taking in more fluids may help also deep breaths and pressing into the affected area. It's a bit of a dark art as what works for one doesn't always work for others. I seem to remember Laura (podcast) gives some info about stitch in an earlier week, not sure if the apps do as haven't listened to them. It may just sort itself out as he gets further along the runs - hope so.
