Week 7 - Getting painful stitch after the 20 minute mark

Does anyone have any stitch tips? I feel fine for the first 20 minutes, then I seem to suddenly get stitch in my right side in my ribs for the last 5 minutes. I really have to push through the pain. I don't eat within the 2 hours before my runs, so I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. Is this just something that will improve on it's own eventually?

W6R1 was really tough 🥵

I completed the 20 minutes in W5R3 last Sunday and found it much easier than I expected. However, I had a little break midweek (I usually run on Wednesdays) because of the heat. I just completed W6R1 tonight, but it was still pretty hot and very humid out there.

There were people everywhere too, so I was constantly having to weave in and out of them. It was by far the hardest run I’ve done so far, and the first time I genuinely thought I wasn’t going to finish it. I think the humidity was making it hard to breath.

I really don’t like having breaks longer than two days, max...but this heat is ridiculous
