Good idea to run or not?

I really want to go for a run tonight, well, restart c25k for the third time but a couple of weeks ago, I had a spasm in my back which has only just worked itself out (today is the first day without painkillers).

Would it be a good idea bearing in mind I would only be running in 60 second bursts, or should I leave it for a few days?

How do you find walking today?

Walking was fine. We went to the coast today so wandered around all day with no pain

I'd probably give it a go then. With a good long warm up and concentrating on posture all the time. Have you ever done any Pilates? Think core strength and protecting your back. Good luck Grin

I'll give it a go then Grin

I've been doing some gentle pilates stretches to help with the spasm, so I'll do some before I go and when I get back as well

Thanks
