W2R1 not too bad :) your tips for stitches worked :)

Well I'm just in the door from my first run of week 2. It was good, I was apprehensive about running for longer but it actually didn't feel like I had run for 90 seconds instead of the 60 seconds from last week. I think I'm able to recover quicker now too

Tried Laura's breathing thing, was able to breath out for 4 but breathing in was a different matter. Doesn't help that there are so many bugs flying around, last week I inhaled a huge fly, ick.

On every run last week, when I still had 2 60 second runs to go, I got the most painful stitches. Reading your tips on here I decided to try drinking a glass of water before I went out today - it worked, I had a tiny twinge of a stitch but it only lasted seconds. Fingers crossed that continues to work.

Looking forward to the next run

take deep breaths and push you tummy out, when you breath out push tummy out again. the stitches will go
