During the cross country season so far, I've been experiencing really bad back pain only when I race. During the race my back seems to tighten up a lot and really hurts. It's only really happened during races and sometimes when I'm running fast during a workout. What is causing the pain? How can I fix it?
I get the same exact issue, kinda feels like a spasm. Nerves back there going crazy.
I\'m in the same boat and it\'s sending my senior cross season in college down the crapper. Help!
I would look at body weight as a possible problem. The back takes a lot of stress when running hard and 10lbs of extra weight can be bad.
That is also why most runners do Core work! Make sure if you do core work you are recovering from that. Hard core workout and then two days no core work. Planks can be great but could also be too much for some runners.
Do you stand on your feet for long periods? Fast food and retail jobs can be tough for runners
Too much, uh, how to put this politely.., "bending from the waist" for all of you.
