|---|---|---|---|
| LittleBit | 0 days | Much stretching later it's ok. Too much sitting around in the flat I think! | details |
| DARTySouth | 1 days | I guess it was just post long trail run tightness. | details |
| DARTySouth | 1 days | Just...went away. I'm not going to question it. Just keep doing long, deep warmups every session and stretch after and in the shower. | details |
| BazorakcommaJ | 2 days | Stretching, massage, tennis balls | details |
| HåvardE | 2 days | Bare å kvile og vente på at kroppen leget seg. | details |
| Dee | 2 days | took Wed off. I think it was because of doing speed drills in spinning class right after the race | details |
| sooo unfit | 2 days | details | |
| Suzanne | 3 days | details | |
| dlevine | 3 days | Rest, followed by extended rest due to family commitments, proved a fine cure. | details |
| theshadow | 3 days | I think it was just overly tight from all the training on the weekend. A couple of days off and a couple of alternative training days. | details |
| cmpbllj | 3 days | Skipped a work-out and waited a day past when it felt like it was gone. | details |
| AlexM | 3 days | Lots of rest and stretching/walking to get everything moving again | details |
| blairtrewin | 3 days | details | |
| Suzanne | 4 days | some rest and some stretching and a little heat before running to help warm it up | details |
| L-Jackson | 4 days | rest | details |
| Marten | 4 days | details | |
| Vox | 4 days | Took things easy, plenty of ICE and gave it time. | details |
| mjd | 4 days | rest | details |
| MDeVoll | 4 days | What caused hamstring pain? Overuse, with combination of introducing weight training over previous 2 weeks. What helped? um. Rest, ice, ibuprofen, lots o' stretching. | details |
| Charlotte W | 4 days | Iced it a lot and did other exercise such as swimming and cycling. | details |
| tdgood | 5 days | details | |
| div | 5 days | Almost completely recovered. Dont feel it at all, maybe when stretching to to the limits. | details |
| mikeminium | 5 days | details | |
| Sergey | 6 days | At our age we should be more careful about running, running fast, and running viciously :) Seriosuly speaking, it was probably bad combination of luck, rocky surface, and jumping down with spiked shoes. | details |
| casser | 6 days | Do more stretching for old legs! | details |
| kurthu | 6 days | details | |
| grail | 7 days | Rest from running fast. Intervals, sprints etc are especially are the killer. Should have been a bit more careful with cycling as with clipped in shoes there is a bit more strain on it. | details |
| Swisscheese | 8 days | details | |
| Ricka | 8 days | Swim, ex machines, biking all okay and either helped or let it heal. No running. Wicked bleeding/bruise on back of knee. | details |
| jess | 8 days | details | |
| div | 9 days | details | |
| TheInvisibleLog | 9 days | Just slow and non intense gentle and short runs. Basically, taking it easy. | details |
| Marten | 9 days | details | |
| ebuckley | 9 days | I think I'm just going to have to put up with it. It doesn't seem to affect performance any - it just hurts a lot. | details |
| tdgood | 9 days | continue to run and orienteer | details |
| wilsmith | 10 days | Not sure on the cause - maybe neglecting my strength training for a couple of weeks contributed to it???? No magic in the recovery - just rest and a (very little) vitamin I. | details |
| Gil | 10 days | Almost week of no activity. Just let it heal. | details |
| nmulder | 10 days | May have occurred during a MTB ride. Probably a result of hip imbalance again. Saw the chiro again, which appeared to help. Lack of gym work may have also contributed. | details |
| D.Keyser | 10 days | Biked every day for about 45 minutes. Iced every night. Stretched and Pilates to loosen muscle up before icing. Not running for a few days helped greatly. Slow jog on Thursday was good way to welcome the leg back to running. | details |
| orienteeringTim | 11 days | details | |
| Lars B | 13 days | Tok 14 dager å restituere seg, har ikke løpt under denne tiden. | details |
| tdgood | 14 days | details | |
| Fat Rat | 14 days | details | |
| Gil | 15 days | Just lots of rest and some ice | details |
| V.B. | 15 days | details | |
| revy | 16 days | Seemed to go away on its own more than anything. Probably would have gone away faster if I had rested. | details |
| Jagge | 17 days | details | |
| grail | 19 days | Running unprepared is not so good. | details |
| Bruce | 19 days | A couple of weeks rest. Then slowly back into running. Pelvic and lower back stretches helped. Definately not my hamstring. Perhaps more hip and buttock related. | details |
| j-man | 22 days | I guess this is cleared up. I'll say it was cured on the Ridley weekend. | details |
| mmace | 22 days | details | |
| Inprin | 23 days | Resting ham helped the most. Stretching seemed to aggrivate. | details |
| tdgood | 23 days | Rest and relaxation. After a week started stretching it out. Did some exercsing on it (like Team trials, excersing bike, and eventually easy jogging. | details |
| jfredrickson | 25 days | A full week off and then a week of easy running to build back up. | details |
| MW | 26 days | Should have iced it, immediately after the injury, to lessen the swelling. Resolution came with complete rest for a few days, then a gradual return to walking as it became possible. | details |
| debarr34 | 26 days | details | |
| Oxoman | 26 days | details | |
| salal | 29 days | Not completely gone/out of my mind (I still am careful of that side), but not really affecting training anymore. Still working with the physio to slowly resolve all my imbalances. | details |
| szurcher | 29 days | Hip stabilization exercises and butt muscle activation exercises were the key! | details |
| coach | 30 days | details | |
| Charlie | 32 days | Still tight, but not sore. Haven't really tried running hard on it, but will continue to stretch it before I do. | details |
| devil | 34 days | details | |
| MeanGene | 35 days | Seeing Dr Rob Jones using ART(active release technique) to quicken recovery. It's a deep massage with stertching exercises. Must keep up the stretching from now on. Do dynamic warmup exercises before all running and biking. | details |
| Jagge | 37 days | No night O racing with injured hamstring. | details |
| SteveT | 38 days | Rest | details |
| Orhi | 39 days | details | |
| Rosco | 45 days | details | |
| prez now retired | 46 days | details | |
| salal | 48 days | ok... still tight in the area, but I wouldn't say it is injured anymore. I have to be carefull stretch it and such, and I still have at least one more physio appointment. | details |
| Rosco | 52 days | stretching is an integral part of training | details |
| MeanGene | 53 days | details | |
| Nadim | 55 days | The tightness is mostly gone. I think just giving it time helped more than anything. I didn't stretch much after a few rounds of it seemed to aggrivate it. I rested it a lot too, mostly for reasons other than to let it heal. | details |
| errolpit | 57 days | details | |
| PBricker | 64 days | details | |
| BorisGr | 71 days | details | |
| MeanGene | 81 days | details | |
| wilsmith | 81 days | Unsure of the cause, although either the NavStock Sprint or else the NavStock Raid would seem to be the likely culprits. Nagged me a looooong time. Probably not 100% recovered yet, but will call it so just to not have the injury coloring on the log any more. Must be 95% back anyway - only pain with hard exertion at the moment. | details |
| Wyatt | 88 days | I still feel it a bit, but I can do intervals, and it's not back, so I'm calling this negligible for now... | details |
| walk | 89 days | The rest and easing back in seems to have helped. A very minor ache occurs but I think that is just tightness. Will work on loosening the butt. | details |
| JayBee | 221 days | details | |
| vandy6616 | 259 days | The hamstring/lower back pain appears to be finally getting better. It's not 100% yet, but getting closer. Two things seem to help. Adjustments to my orthotics and cutting out caffine. | details |
| Wyatt | 312 days | Deep tissue work + light running, 2x/day seemed much more helpful than various PT strengthening things. | details |
