Link?

Medical procedure to stimulate the repair of hamstring? What is this? Why word it like that? Why not just say hamstring surgery?

This sounds groundbreaking, does it not? Runners with hamstring injuries want to know.

Hope she gets better. Hate to see the best female runner in Indiana history suffer from too many injuries.

Maybe she had something like PRP injections which isn't actual surgery, but is said to facilitate healing. It is relatively newer. I don't know just a guess.

Thanks, didn't know about that. Hope they heal up soon. Injury epidemic in XC this year.

I think anybody who signed her knew it was unlikely she would remain healthy. Some runners are just more prone to inj. and it's the hard part of the sport.

Those that can run 4xCC without a RS season are quite fortunate.

I thought her injury in outdoor was to her spine. Now she injured her hamstring too? Clearly she's injury prone, but how would you guys suggest making her less injury prone? Improving flexibility and putting in time in the weight room?

Eating more would probably be a great place to start

It may be more complicated than that...remember they're often Catholic...and remember how Catholics are averse to something that helps regulate hormones that promote bone health...

It seems likely that the spine injury would have lead to the hamstring injury, I think, given how the two supplement each other in body stability and in the running motion. At least, I could see the hamstring having to compensate for a back injury. Hopefully she heals up and feels good about getting back into training!

You are preaching to the choir:

Yeah, Anna has never looked emaciated to me like some of her competitors. She looks healthy.

What is / are PRP?

Birth control promotes bone health. You work for big pharma?

Never? Never, ever?

Nothing says "A thread about an injured female runner" quite like wondering if they have an eating disorder.

Platelet-Rich-Plasma -- they take your blood out, spin it to get rid of the red cells, and then inject the plasma near injured areas. It's spendy and controversial (at best) but lots of elite professional athletes -- Tiger, Kobe and ARod -- have tried it.

Sparks runs another stud into the ground when they should've gone pro instead.
