About 5 weeks ago I strained my hamstring (i think from the doing the rowing machine without warming up beforehand--yaa i know that was stupid.) Anyway its still bothering me however I'm still able to put in long slow miles fine (just no quick stuff---which is fine since its the offseason). Any good ideas to cure this hamstring?
deep tissue massage works... If you can find someone who does Active Release Technique (ART), that works too.
For one, you've got to let it heal. Second, go to the website www.stretchingusa.com and check out the active isolated stretching method developed by Aaron Mattes. I've used the program for several years and it is incredible. After years of hamstring and hip problems, I was a new man in three weeks and PR's soon followed.
restdont rush back too fast or it'll just reinjure.
