Hi all, just wondered if anyone has ever experienced lower back pain when running because today for some reason I was suffering a bit with this and it has never happened before...any thoughts, as always, greatly appreciated! 😉 (I ran about a 5K distance)

It could be tight hamstrings, glutes or hip flexors. Do you stretch afterwards? Or use a foam roller? Pilates/yoga are good for strengthening and lengthening your lower back so if you don't do either then you should consider it.
Check out some YouTube videos for some suitable stretches but this one is particularly good for the lower back:

I agree with IrishPrincess and often do Yoga with Adrienne on You Tube - she has a video with this stretch and you know if you’ve done it right in the morning 🤣
Yoga/Pilates and strength exercises have definitely helped me through my running and no lower back pain anymore
Good luck !
