Running and back and shoulder pain

1 reply

I have recently started the C25K plan and have completed week 6 run 1.

I have an historical problem with pain in my back on the right hand side below my shoulder blade. This can flare up at any time and did so when I started to run.

I am trying to concentrate on my posture, but now I feel knackered all over!
My neck and shoulders are feeling strained and my back just feels bad.

Is there anything i can do? Is it my technique or posture?
I am so enjoying running, but it seems to be putting too much strain on my body.

Could you go and see a GP for advice? Or join a running club - the coaches in ours (am just a beginner myself!) seem very good at advising on injury.
