Hi

Quick question regarding some back spasms Ive been having recently while running.

Bit of background, football season is over so Ive been doing a bit of running to keep myself ticking over in the off-season. Ive changed the run in the last couple of weeks from a 4k to a 5.5k run. In the last two runs....last night and Monday night, I had some spasms in my mid-back after about 20 mins. I had to stop during these as I couldnt catch a breath but they subsided to the extent that I was able to finish the run.

Anyone got any ideas on why this is happening now and possible preventative treatment.

Cheers

Hi there

I had this problem myself a couple of months back, in my upper back, but I found it was to do with not warming up properly and stretching afterwards, I havent had a problem since
