I have no idea what happened but I'm in a lot of pain from my hamstring.
Wife says there is bruising on the hamstring above the knee.
One more piece of info, during the 5k and Sprint Tri I wore Saucony Endorphin Pro shoes. The 5k was the first time that I had worn those shoes in a high intensity run.
My usual treatments are not working (tons of caffeine, telling my leg to shut up, and working harder).
How do you know when it is time to go to the doctor? Any tips on healing? Dr. Internet seems to say rest and naproxen along with a ton of questionable devices and gimmicks.
- Ran a 5k on Sunday April 11. Beat my PR by 2 minutes. Felt great.
- Bike workout on Monday, felt great
- Started a run Tuesday morning and made it a couple hundred feet. Sharp, searing pain in my hamstring.
- Rest and naproxen. Tested it a few times and could not run but thought it was gradually getting better.
- Did a sprint tri on Sunday April 25. Could not generate much power during the bike. During the run, the leg didn't feel too bad. At 0.9 miles the sharp pain came back and I hobbled the rest of the way in.
