The Runner’s World Guide to Common Running Injuries: Hamstring Strain
Runner’s World releases the hamstring strain installment of its common running injuries guide, with physical therapist Winnie Yu and other experts explaining the difference between acute and chronic strains, their causes, and rehab methods. Acute strains often occur suddenly during sprinting or hill running, while chronic strains build over weeks or months from repeated overload and glute fatigue. The article gives red, yellow, and green pain-signal criteria and lists prone hamstring curls, elevated bridges, and single-leg bridges as rehab exercises, plus prevention advice on gradually increasing hills, speedwork, and mileage.
