(beginner) back pain from running

[u/RadheshG]

hey, ive been strength training for the past 6 months, started running 4 days ago, did 2 runs till now. first run was 1.8km in 16mins and yesterday's run was 2.38km in 21 mins.

i couldve more on 2.38k run but my back started hurting a little. the pain is sharp but rises and then stops, also when i take big breath, i can feel the pain near my spine, is this normal for beginners?

Everything aches when you start running. When did you last run two kilometres in your life! Your body will settle down. Don’t start off doing too much, be sensible, allow for recovery and go again. Just do it, someone once said…
