Pulled a Muscle - Wk 1!!

[NicolaD]

So I completed week 1 on Wednesday. Felt elated at the time and was looking forward to starting week 2 today.

I had only been going very slowly. That slow that I had only done 1.5 miles when the programme finished.

Wednesday afternoon I started suffering back ache. It seems to be behind my rib cage, left hand side of my back. I think I must have pulled a muscle. Took some Ibuprofen and felt a bit better, albeit stiff and difficult to move around. Went for a walk in the park yesterday and boy could I feel it after that. Been drugged up on Ibuprofen ever since. Its really quite painful.

All I can think is that I was really swinging my arms and must have pulled something. Can't believe this has happened on week 1!!!!

Rest up, recover and read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

As you get fitter your resistance to injury will slowly increase.
