Hello there and welcome to a very special series of bonus episodes of Rompod where we're going to discuss some of those little niggles, issues or injuries that we tend to pick up through running.

Now I'm Jenny Faulkner and luckily on hand for you, we are joined by a man, a globally respected physiotherapist. He's worked with

But yeah, I mean, just as we're sitting down

and you're not thinking about it, if I say to you, oh, your lower back feels a bit tight right now,

it's like I've just yodied you into it and you go, oh yeah, it does a little bit. So, yeah,

be careful when you're running to get any sort of suggestion about this injury, just remember that before

you heard me talking about it, it wasn't there, relax, keep running.

It's so good to have you on Run Pod. Now, I did there in the intro say that you had been a

team GB athlete. Tell me which sport was yours. Yeah, so technically it's called flatwater

kayaking. That's what they call it in the
