Ask not what your hamstrings can do for you but what you can do for your hamstrings. I have asked a lot of my hamstrings the last couple months. I asked them to run a marathon. I asked them to Sprint. I asked them to train for another marathon. I asked them to run strides. I didn't ask them what I could do for them. They quietly told me they were overworked. I ignored them. Then they protested louder and I kept running and expecting more. Finally when they yelled, I listened. I am trying to pay attention to my hamstring and treat them well.
Today the plan had a 14 mile run. My hamstrings need rest. I walked and hiked about 12 miles and took a 16 mile bike ride. My hamstring thanked me.
I am super proud of my slug sister because she is an ultramarathoner. She is amazing.
