Back Pain and RPCP update 1

Today I did a workout with Robert P. Collins himself and afterwards he told me that sometimes running causes him lower back pain. Most people, especially Americans who sit in chairs all day, experience back pain in their lives. The causes and appropriate treatments are endless and specific to every individual. In Robert's case I first recommended a new pair of shoes. We found out when discussing his shin pain (isn't running a lovely sport?) that his running shoes are probably dead. This problem at his feet can be manifested in the back the same way a heart attack can manifest itself as left arm pain. The other thing that I recommended he work on is flexibility of his low back and hamstrings. When we stretched out after the workout he couldn't even touch his toes, a sign that he is too tight for optimum back health. On a positive note he ran very well. 3x1200m shooting 4:30 every time he ran 4:29,4:30, and 4:23. Great work, Rob!

GO TEAM!
