RICE

Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. They are the 4 golden rules for sports injuries. I spent a couple of hours with my leg up, sitting on an ice pack last night and it seems to have done the trick with my hamstring. Did a good run of 28.88km in 2hr36min tonight, and could only just feel the hammy. Don't think it'll cope with any fast running for a little while, but a comfortable steady jog was fine - which is a relief.

    That's a pretty solid run with a dodgy hammy! Hope it comes right soon. I only have a week to go before the Rotorua Marathon (yikes!)

    Hope your Marathon goes well. My hamstring was good for about a week or two, but then my back got stiff again, I tried some 30sec sprints, and sure enough it's hurting again! Very frustrating.
