Since running pounds the back body, what postural antidotes to this repetitive pounding can be it's counterpoint: forward bending and ahhh relieve that low back! The following 2 poses will aleviate the pressure and give you a nice counter stretch. Flow with these 2 at the very least, more to come!
Rest in childs pose: Balasana , for 5-10 breaths
Sit back on your heels and extend your arms in front laying your chest on the tops of your thighs forehead rests on the floor/ mat
Spring into downward facing dog: Adho Makha Svanasana (refer to photo) for 5- 10 breaths of full inhales and exhales come to all fours lifting the sit bones hinging at the waist, heels go towards the floor pushing the mat away from you with the hands, fingers spread wide, create full length in your spine from the sacrum to the crown of the head
Flow into this sequence of child's pose exhale from down dog then at the end of breath 5 flow back to childs pose . Going from child's pose to downward facing dog pose. Roll back onto your back squeeze in your knees to your chest and baby rock side to side.
