Still haven't managed to complete week 9 due to pain in my lower back. Going to leave it a couple more days and try again. So near yet so far away .

Sorry to hear about your back. But as others say you have to listen to your body. Just make sure it isn't something where you may need medical advice.

Take it easy.

Sorry to hear it.. it does happen with new runners, I get it a bit at times, usually when I get out of bed, but have good rest, had nothing as I've got stronger..

The first thing I would suggest is to find the cause of your back pain and correct it. Then work on your core strength to support your back and pelvis while you are running. And finally, I would look at your running style to see if you are putting extra stress on your back during your activities.😊

Not what you're looking for?
