Week 8 run 2 stitch last 5 minutes

[Blubear]

Anyone struggling with week 8? Run one seemed ok but run 2 was a nightmare and I felt ready to stop before halfway. 5 mins before the end I got really bad stitch. I’ve not posted before but I feel I need some motivation to keep going 😊

As far as I can remember to prevent a stitch you need to slow down . That was the advice on here at some point . See if it helps 😊

Thanks. I’ll try and slow down 😊

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading and you may well learn something, even in W8.

Try slowing down to the easy conversational pace described in the guide. Slowing down and taking deep breaths works for most.
