Advice needed please

[Elizabeth74]

I last ran last Sunday which was week 3 run 1 and was so chuffed with my self.

I have had a slight back ache this week and have put off running. It is still there slightly.

What your advice be?

Try and see how I go ?

What run should I do?

Start again ?

Any advice would be gratefully received 😘

It depends how bad your backache is Elizabeth..do you know how you did it?

You should be fine to carry on with Wk3 R2 as long as it doesn't hurt to run.😯

On a positive note, I have found running has really helped my back, I run tall and take a short stride and I feel it has strenghened my core muscles. No twinges any more...

When you are ready to run again try Wk3 R2, the worst that can happen is it becomes a practise run, but I think you will do it😊x

Thank you.

Think I will give it a go. Hope fully all will be fine. I really don’t want to put it off for longer than I have to.

Not sure how I hurt my back, just one of those things plus getting old 😂😂

Good luck hope you do give it a go during the last part of week 3 and 4 I was getting aches and pains all over the place despite the stretches, I think my body was saying woah what are you doing to me after all these years! But I’m into week 5 and I honestly can say the pains and niggles have settled. Hope your back pain sorts out too

Thank you.

I do believe my body is in shock as jogging with this extra weight can’t be that easy for the body.

Hoping to get out tomorrow 🏃‍♂️

You are doing brilliantly, I love you updates xx
