Ran a 7:04 fifth mile (faster than planned, had virtually no pace control) before slowing which cleared the left side, but couldn't fully shake it until I got back (6 miles); not happy as it was extremely painful.

Schedule says 13 miles steady next, doing that Friday before my weekend, sure I can squeak out another 160m at the end.

Ooyah. I've been lucky with stitches *thankfully*. I'm interested what causes it, I know it's your intestines rubbing together and a friend gets them when she eats sausage rolls before she runs.
