Is it just the running that causes the back pain? The pain could be coming from your hips or hamstrings or your core might need strengthening. Keep stretching every day when muscles are warm. Try a longer warm up, say 10 minutes and consider doing pilates which is great for your back.

Well done on getting to week 3.
