Back pain: Running with poor posture can cause back pain so it’s important to try and maintain good posture. It is possible for existing back problems to exacerbate with running. If you have a back injury or feel pain in your back, please check with your Doctor before running.
Piles: Running can cause flare ups of haemorrhoids, which is quite common in endurance athletes. If you have any concerns or if symptoms occur, please consult your Doctor.
Sciatica: Feeling discomfort around the legs and back could be a potential sign of sciatica. If you think you may have sciatica, piriformis syndrome, or are feeling any sort of pain, it’s best to consult your Doctor or a physiotherapist if you feel pain so they can help you identify the cause and give advice on how to manage it.
