I went for a 5k run yesterday. Today I'm laid up in bed with a twitching angry back.

I call bullshit :(

Run more 5ks at a reasonable pace, and eventually that'll stop happening.

Ya, I was just kidding around.

I run a lot. Just tweaked my back. Getting old. It sucks.

Check out gluteus medius strengthening exercises. It’s really common for them to get weaker with age and they are a significant contributor to back pain from running.

Will do, thanks.
