Hamstrings - What Every Runner Should Know About Stretching (or Not)

Posted 02/10/2010

Runners are known to be very ambitious and dedicated athletes. They are also known to stretch a lot, especially their hamstrings. For many if not most runners, the more they stretch their hamstrings, the tighter they feel. There is good reason for that. If you would like some insight into the problem with overstretching hamstrings from a physical therapist’s perspective, click here.  You might be surprised by what you learn. Our next entry will focus on the difference between static (example typical hamstring stretch) versus dynamic warm-up for preparation for running.
Train hard and train smart!
