Week 5 run 3 finished! I really struggled though. I ran so so slowly (but didn't stop) and had stitch the entire time! Am I best to redo this run before progressing to week 6?

Thanks all x

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, if you wish to repeat that run you can do do.

If I were you Id keep on going to week 6. That has interval runs for the first 2. You actually did brilliantly managing to keep going with a stitch the whole time! For 20 WHOLE MINUTES!!!!! Yayyyyyyy!

Great job... and no... you completed it, you’re ready for week 6... slow and steady into those intervals.

You beat a tough run... you carried a stitch which would have made the old you stop for sure... you’re unstoppable now. Here’s a link all about side stitches, including how to deal with them on the run. runnersworld.com/uk/health/...
