Hamstring
About 5 1/2 weeks ago I injured my hamstring during a competition. I had trouble walking for several days but it gradually got better. Last week I started back working out on a regular basis. However the 1 think I still can't do is run. I may be able to run 200 meters at a nice pass (1/2 mile pace at best) but then it just tightens up and I struggle through whatever running I have left. I obviously have stretched it and I use Rock Sauce to help it. Anyone have any suggestions to further heal this?
thanks |

I suppose it should be obvious you want to use control during the movement - i.e. don't be sloppy. |

Re: Hamstring
Rest is the best healer...
Some things you have to give time to heal and not trying to push yourself back into full loads and movements. The worst thing is not to do anything, but whatever you do use moderation. If you push it too hard to early you are going to blow it out again and then you will have an even longer time to get back to 100%. Your body is telling you something when it tightens up..... its saying what the **** are you doing, if you don't stop I will stop it for you. The body is a very smart machine. I use massage to help issues I have had and heat to help the blood flow but only after a couple of weeks. |

Re: Hamstring
I hurt it on September 12th. The next couple weeks I did nothing except some benching and push ups. I was then to the point where there was nothing noticeably wrong when i walk. I am now back to where I can do anything but run. I did Filthy 50 2 weeks ago with no problem. I did Murph yesterday and the running was awful. I ended up walking a lot becasue is was tight. I guess it is getting colder so the running is about over for the year. Thanks for the input.

Re: Hamstring
One important thing is where is the tear? if it is mid hamstring in the muscle belly conservative measures usually do the trick and things get better. If it is in the buttock near the hamstring tendon attachment then it is a different story for an athletic individual.
