last week I twisted my back and was in agony when I got up from sitting down. So I have rested it for a week. I walked my usual 10k Monday run but I am hoping tomorrow to test the water with a small 5k run of run/walk intervals to test the back.
Lets hope it work I worry that my fitness will drained easily when I don't run.
So crossing my fingers for tomorrow.

Be careful running with a sore back as 1 it could make matters worse and 2 it will effect your running style and cold put added pressure on other joints.

Well Simon M & misswobble. My run went fine I managed a sneaky 7km on Wednesday, and the only struggled going uphill. I had no pain or ache even after my run. I ran slowly and with caution. stretching exercises and a week of rest worked.
My back still aches a bit in the morning. So I will do the same run tomorrow (weather permitting here in the North). nice and slow and ready to go !
