I am currently on the final week of couch to 5k, But recently more towards the end of my runs I have been hit with agonising pain around my shoulders.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have been stretching before my runs and making sure I'm adequately hydrated
Are you carrying anything in your hands?
A small water bottle and my mobile phone
There's your answer then.
Thank you! It never crossed my mind as they're not exactly heavy objects, I'll do my next run without
Would highly recommend getting some form of holder for your phone so you can still have it with you without holding it - I use one around my waist (basically a bum bag) but I know people use arm ones too!
Leggings with pocketssssssss!! Best invention ever! 🤣
You probably don't need the water bottle. Just have a small glass of water before you set off. As to the mobile, get a belt to put it in.
