Maybe you need to slow down at the beginning so you don’t get stitch, just treat it as a practice run and next time for sure you will smash it

Don’t sweat it - bad runs happen. It is no indication of how you are doing, it is just a “bad run”. So many things can affect how a run feels, that in some respects it is not worth over analysing! I have been running for over two years now, consider myself as fit as a fiddle, yet still have some real doozies where it feels so, so hard. Good idea to repeat it - but definitely don’t overthink it. 👍 All the best to you.

I feel your pain! Run 2 week 6 yesterday was a sod for me too. It'll be better next time though :) Just unfortunate to get a stitch, drink lots just before your next run and you'll fly through.
