Subject: Middle Back Pain
Went for my first run outside this morning.  Everything was going good and was actually doing a lot better than expected.  Towards the end of the run I notice some pain radiating across the middle portion of my back.  It wasn't a shooting pain, more of a cramp/strained feeling.  I have had this one time before.  Is it the way I am running or since it was towards the end of my run was it just my body getting tired and cramping up?

I am no expert as I am just starting out but I did have the same experience just recently. I had a pain in the middle of my back which started to hurt about 2 miles into my run. I decided to back off and cool down since it persisted.

I went home and researched running issues. I really don't recall if my shoulders were tense at the time but I did read that if u tense ur shoulders u will get that middle back pain. Now I try and relax them and make sure I am not crossing my arms in front of my body. I haven't had it happen again *knock on wood*.

Maybe hydration issue.

Good luck!
