R Upper Leg, Hamstring Pain

2011-02-23 – 2011-03-26

Grade: 2

Hamstring pull during night time O-group workout....tired, hurdle jumps, not enough stretching at the start and did not dress warmly enough ..should have known there would be trouble

See Feb 23, 2011 log for particulars

Grade 2 severity on hamstring injury scale of 3

Cause..see above.....probably would have lasted for a shorter time with more rigour in re-hab stretching and pool running in 3rd-4th week..Keeping hamstring overwarm in rehab stages while running good...Don't do hard workouts in the winter without extra warm legs and on days where there was poor sleep the night before.....Continuing icing stretching/strengthing routine...especially dynamic PNF stretching
