Morning all! I need some advice on overcoming a hamstring injury so please share. I am two and a half weeks away from my goal race - a relay with some fabulous ladies through the mountains! I was walking up the stairs two nights ago, felt a little pop in my hamstring with some tenderness and today it's stinging quite a bit and travelling higher into my hip.

How did you recover and how long did it take you? Any helpful advice greatly appreciated!

Also, any runners out there feel free to friend me :happy:

    I did this a couple of weeks ago. I don't know that it got to my hip though. I would stretch it, use a foam roll on it, and applied biofreeze. I still ran just was careful and kept my strides short. I'm pretty much recovered now, 2 weeks. Take it easy with hammies though especially so close to your race. At this point if you are really concerned you could just rest until the race.
