Quick one for you guys. I was on holiday recently without my bike and couldn't sit still, so I started jogging at night to try and keep the fitness up a bit. I don't normally run so I was taking it easy, about 3 or 4k on the pavement (slightly uneven surface) but on my third outing I got sciatica and couldn't walk let alone run for the rest of the holiday. I did a couple of rounds of physio and she told me I got it from having tight glutes and hamstrings. So I've been stretching at home with a tennis ball and the pain has started to subside.
My question is; is my short lived running career over? I was starting to enjoy it so I'd like to give it another shot but don't fancy being out of action for that long again.
