I think thats just tightness just keep stretching your back out and getting it nice and warm

I cannot run faster than 9 kph on the treadmill because everytime I do I get a pain in my lower back on the left hand side.

I've been running for the last 3 or 4 weeks approx 2-3 times a week and it isn't getting any better. I'm trying to get to 12 kph.

 

How can i prevent this? My warm up is just a 3 minute walk. My trainers are quality running trainers.

Hey Matt,

 

It could be something as simple as just needed to stretch more.

 

Check this video out, it can help you for sure.

SCOTT!!! Haha thats amazing! I cant believe i didnt look through your vids for a solution. Is there anything you havent covered in your vids?

Thanks a lot!

 

Will be trying these tomorrow.

 

Brilliant !

UPDATE: I did the back stretches and managed to increase my speed on teh treadmill with NO pain!

 

I guess not stretching/warming up the lower back was giving me the pains.

 

Problem solved!

 

Thanks.

Hey Matt! This video that Scott recomened is amazing for the lower back!

 

Scott reffered my fiance to this video when she injured her lower back. Kat had fallen off a horse and landed on her tail bone and she wasn't able to work out at all. After a couple of weeks of following these stretches she was good as new and lifting again! Hope you feel better soon man.

 

Thanks again Scott!
