Beginning to Run Thread

Still amazed I could do that after 185 pound deadlifts and other crazy stuff. My cranky hamstring is still happy with me

I am so happy for you! Don't do too much!
I am hoping by the time summer comes, I can try running again. Like you, it will only be on the trails.

Thanks Crankin, and I am trying very hard to keep everything balanced without progressing too quickly while getting 2 or 3 days rest weekly (I alternate weeks with 2 days and weeks with 3). I normally do extra lifting on Saturdays (mainly deadlifts and squats), but since we are focusing on max lifts (which for me are the same two lifts since I am not allowed to go overhead) during my group training this month I am doing other things on Saturdays, like interval metabolic training instead.

Looking forward to seeing what my training schedule will be like that I get tomorrow! She is starting it with where I am, and I already know that she will program only 2 days of running a week, at first.

I don't know why it is my uninjured hamstring that tends to complain when I try to ramp up my running too quickly, and not the one I tore a couple years back that you might remember...when Knotted basically bribed me to persuade me to get to the doctor I do listen however, and there have been a few days when I didn't run at all because that hamstring started complaining from the start. It is up high, by the insertion point.

Very nice Catrin!

Yeah boy, for such big stonkin' muscles, it's hard to get into those little hamstring attachments, isn't it? I'll be on the foam roller and even the 6" ball and everything will feel fine, maybe find a couple of little spots with the 3" ball, and then one of my therapists will just barely put their finger up in there and it'll be like YEOW!!
