Jo mentions this in one of the weeks and says they think a stitch might be linked to dehydration, are you drinking enough water? Especially the day before.

Hey! Well done for getting through it! Have you tried what Laura says about breathing if you get a stitch...so as you breath in release the tummy or push it out and then exhale longer deeper breaths and that should help overcome stitch but also drinking some water before your run will help. Good luck!
