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.

Sprinting to warm up??? As in, sprinting BEFORE you're warmed up???

We had already been warming up for about 12 minutes or so prior to this, and pretty significantly. Sometimes our "warmups" take 15-20 minutes... Sorry for any confusion. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

I'm not a huge fan of the idea of non-runners (which I think you are) doing "sprints," no matter how warmed up. In trying to figure out whether I can safely do speed work myself, I've consistently been cautioned to wait until I have an adequate mileage base. Now, just how adequate that base has to be is subject to debate, but some base is recommended. And even then, I need to be really careful with form, especially with overstriding. So, with that in mind, I'd proceed cautiously when it comes to sprints, and jogging/running in general, as part of your classes at NIFS. Originally Posted by Catrin
