Hey all,

I have only gone and graduated! 5k done.

Thank you to each and everyone of you being so supportive through this 9 weeks of training to get to this point. Never thought I would do it. But I have. Thanks to your inspiration and Jo Whileys enthusiasm to keep going.

I did all this with a bulging disc and degenerative discs in my back. Although I’m feeling it today!!.

Thank you again for all your support πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ🏼😁

Hi, Thank you πŸ˜€

Yes I have a bulging disc although it hadn’t been hurting until I started running over the 20 minutes mark. Now my back is affecting my run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ˜ΉοΈ

When did yours start? ☹️

About week 4 I would say. It’s really annoying as I’m not sure whether to stop. It’s worse on my rest days however πŸ’β€β™€οΈ

Hi I would probably ask to have a call back from your GP explain the pain your getting he will be able to advise you.

Maybe you have something underlying with your back. That the running has brought out.

I think I am going to start running less time from now. Maybe 20 mins at a time. See how that goes if it continues I may need to stop too x
