I completed w5r3 today, about 5 minutes into it I developed a dull pain in my lower back on the right side. Has anyone else had this? I wasn’t expecting it!

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.
Running often shows up inherent issues in our bodies, including asymmetries. We are not medical professionals, so can not give a diagnosis but all runners need a strong core, so would recommend doing planks and bridges to build that strength.
Have you read the guide to the plan? healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
