Gym time affecting recovery?

Maybe you should lay off the eggnog.

You need to get yourself some "tatts."

the funny thing about the belly of my hamstring is that its located on my....

Typical letsrun... Can I get some help please?

Unless its something really serious, wouldn't it be healing pretty quickly if you weren't stressing it? What's the rush anyway, take some time to recover... better healthy and less fit than fit and not able to run...

I have found cycling to hinder a complete recovery of hamstring strains on several occasions over the past four years. Try staying off the bike for one week while maintaining the rest of your program.

Generally it is pretty safe to trust doctors, but if you are concerned, try taking a few days off and then going back to the gym - you will know if you feel better. You are the only one who knows exactly how your body feels, and the only one who can know what helps/hurts.

Well it tightens up a lot when I don't go, and generally feels more flexible after so...

Especially if you're paying your share of taxes...oops, I mean fees...;)

Depending on how long you've been out with the hamstring/glute injury; it might be time to start strengthening those muscles. Light weight room exercises and calisthenics might do the trick.

get on the recumbent bike, you use the hammy way less on it than the regular bike & elliptical (especially the elliptical!)

if you think the exercise you are doing is aggravating it, it probably is. so back off!
