Hamstring
I need your opinions on Hamstrings. My "hammy" has been sore for 2 months. I have taken it easy for a month and it still hurts. I fully understand the importance of stretching; but I want to know when this soreness is going to go away? I am going to start to race and I do not want problems. Does anyone rub on those gels that I have not used since Hockey practice in High School?

Gentle, slow stretching and moderate exercise are good. Ballistic stretching and/or excessive loading will exacerbate your problem and ****** your recovery. Unfortunately, soft-tissue injuries tend to heal slowly.
