I did my back in a few weeks ago. My own silly fault. I had had a break from training for a few weeks and went in at my usual full tilt and hurt it. Nothing major, assume I strained something. It was very painful for about 4 days with a bad spasm. Since then its felt tight and a little painful, but its not getting any better from there.

Really want to get back into training but I don't want to injure myself further. Swimming seems ok so will do that, the bike I can do the 30 minute commute but any longer and it hurts. Really need to get running though and that is painful to do. Should I leave it until there is no pain? If I run through the pain am I going to be doing myself more injury?

Would some light weights / high reps be ok?
