Discussion: Hammy

That's no good at all, take care of that silly muscle. Can you get an appointment to see a physio? Or a doc? They might be able to address some underlying problems, although there isn't much you can do about the fact that you tore it whenever you had done that. But maybe they can figure out why its bothering you again? and make it stop?

Good thing its almost ski season!

Mmmm, yeah, suppose a doc might be able to stay something useful. Wish it would just cure itself. But I'm going to be careful this week, and only run the Traverse if its seeming more ok than it is now...

Coming back from a long weekend, I just read the last 4-5 trainings in your log and read a lot of comments about things hurting. Sounds like you need a day or two off for the moment. No sense in getting injured now (or ever!). Take care of your body, my dear!

Yeah, time for some chill. Does help to have other people tell me it's the smartest thing though, so hard to have the patience to rest...

Hope it's starting to ease up- if not then I'd suggest tight strapping with an ACE bandage for a couple of days is a good approach as it helps restrict muscle elongation - helped my ham tear recover pretty fast.

Definitely isn't too bad, really no pain on doing anything, but based on weekend, still needs more work before running full speed, so trying to give it time and now also strengthen! Think that's maybe what I was missing!

Good to hear- strengthening was also my aha moment.
