Sorry about your sore back, maybe do some exercise before you run, run 2 of week 9, I don't think that the actual runs are causing your back to be sore, although you might think they are, if your back continues to be sore I would suggest you don't run and visit your doctor

Thank you for your advice it’s frustrating as got this far

It is not uncommon for runners to feel lower back pain if their core strength is not up to it......I know I did when I did my first few 10 mile runs. Planks and bridges soon sorted it out in my case.

Thanks I’m going to try and work on my core strength see if that helps
