Running and back pain

Running and back pain

Author: Runner's World UK December 3, 2024 Duration: 31:33
Back pain affects millions of people across the UK. But a new study suggests running may be able to help chronic lower back back pain. It comes off the back of some previous research showing that running doesn’t seem to harm the back and may actually be good for spine health. Running physio Tom Goom discusses these studies and offers some general advice for any runners currently suffering from back pain. The NHS has lots of advice on back pain and its possible causes: nhs.uk/conditions/back-pain/ This podcast and its content is not intended to replace medical assessment and advice.

Every week, hosts Rick Pearson and Ben Hobson sit down to explore the vast, varied, and sometimes wonderfully weird landscape of the sport. The Runner's World Podcast from Runner's World UK is less a lecture and more a conversation among friends, one that welcomes everyone from the first-time jogger to the seasoned marathoner. You’ll hear candid stories from elite athletes about the mental grind behind their physical feats, and practical advice from professional coaches that you can apply to your next run. The discussions, however, stretch far beyond split times and nutrition, often veering into the unexpected intersections where running meets culture, as musicians and comedians share how the rhythm of the road influences their work. At its heart, this podcast understands that a runner's life is about more than logging miles; it's about the community, the personal challenges, and the small triumphs. Each episode blends thoughtful interviews with genuine, actionable insight, creating a space that is as much about the why as it is about the how. It’s a companion for your training journey, offering both entertainment for your rest days and motivation for your next outing.
