For The Thunder!

I'm with Jill B on this, I suffered for 16 odd months and then a new physio freed it up in three visits by really working on the spots where it was tight and it disappeared. I have really short hamstrings I think due to years of cycling.
Ironically after nearly a year it has come back so I've had it treated again and I'll see what happens this weekend.
I found I could cope on shorter runs but it kicked in after about 5 miles and progressively got worse as it tightened
Good luck in your quest for injury free running PH.

Does temperate mean cold?
I might be misusing it. I think "seasonally appropriate" was what I was looking for.
I fly.
Crap. At least it hasn't started yet.
Looks like I'm running 17 on the treadmill tomorrow. Excuse me while I rethink my mileage goals for the year.
I did a little test earlier this evening. I spent the run focusing on getting more knee lift. I think that this tightness has got me to the point where I am just shuffling along, even at tempo pace. At the end of the run I opened it up for 2 tenths of a mile on an uphill stretch up to my house. I just progressively went faster until I was almost at a full sprint at the end. The good news is that I didn't feel any pain doing this, felt good actually.
It's interesting that it feels quite a bit better since doing this last week. I still have some pain but not nearly as annoying. I ran a trail race Sunday and that seemed to open things up even more.
Alas, I don't know when I'll get to the 400's as they are calling for over a foot of snow here starting tonight and I have no access to a treadmill. Hopefully next week.
And I need to send a special shout out to Waffle House, Tanya's groin, and my buddy L Train for their valuable input. Thanks a million.

I have really short hamstrings. I think due to having really short legs.
