Do you enjoy it? Did you always? Are there seriously people out there who go "Yeah, I'd love to go for a run right now!" Because I don't know if I'm one of those people lol. I'm doing the C25K and I'm only up to week 4 which is:
5 minute warm up walk
400m run
200m walk
800m run
400m walk
400m run
200m walk
800m run
5 minute cool down walk

It's so lame, but that 800m kills me. The best I've done is the first interval, then 500m run, 100m walk, 200m run. Then the next 400m run, then had to skip the last one because DS woke up. So that's my best, and I was feeling pretty good. But last night I sucked so bad, I felt awful, got a huge stitch and couldn't finish.

Why was last night so much harder? Is there anything I can do to prevent a stitch? Like eating certain foods during the day, drinking more or less water or not too close to going for the run?

I don't want to quit, I want to get better at this so any advice at all would be very welcome!
