I've noted recently that when I try to jog more than 200-400 meters (less sometimes) that one of my hammies gets quite perturbed with me. Is this indicative of a running form problem?

This may not be helpful, but... I was trying to figure out why my calf kept tightening up on my run this morning, then I remembered that I spent much of Sunday in high heels. No wonder my calf is reacting.

I don't wear heels of any size, though that is a good idea. It may simply be that I shouldn't run on days that I've done Romanian deadlifts. I did tweak that leg during the summer with improper running form (overstriding) which is why I've been wondering about this.

Thanks for the good idea! I will do that this weekend, I doubt that I will be able to coordinate this until then. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

We did some sprint exercises yesterday to warm up for a VERY intense workout and I really did a number on my leg - it isn't the hamstring, it is something on the inner thigh - unsure if muscle or tendon. I am taking 1 week off of anything that looks like running at all (nothing else bothers it), and will visit a local running store that provides a free running form evaluation. If I am doing something to inadvertently cause this then I need to know now.
