Well-done See 2nd time around you'll enjoy it more, is anyone a natural runner πŸ™„ become the runner you want to be, perhaps though warm that back up before you run, few gentle stretches nothing intense and running on a softer surface may help i.e grass or sand as opposed to paths and tarmac... And lastly make sure you're wearing trainers with adequate cushioning πŸ‘πŸ‘

I can already feel it in my back! I certainly need to stretch more! I have the correct trainers (paid a small fortune for them πŸ™ˆ) thanks for the tips πŸ™‚

Lovely to hear you're having a second go. πŸ‘

If you're having problems with your back try some core body exercises. Also, make sure you're running up tall, not hunched over. Imagine showing off your best earrings. 😊
