Hamstring pain

[sianharris50]

Am doing the CARTEN on Saturday and felt a pain in the back of my leg whilst out yesterday, still in pain this morning. Wearing a stretch bandage and will keep leg elevated as much as is possible, Was hoping to get out midweek and TT Thursday, any advice would be most welcome.

Maybe skip the midweek?

Thanks for getting back.

Ice and ibroprofin then stretch easy after 72hrs (what a Physio once told me)

Hi Sian

I am doing Carten too. I am also contemplating a Carten return on the sameday, depends on prevailing conditions on the day. If you have any muscle pain now, best advice is as already posted, rest ice compress and elevate.

I will be riding my commute tues and weds = 40 miles and nothing else strenuous this week. Definitely no plans for club 10.

Hi Shawn

Thanks for that, the weather is looking bleak for Saturday - shame, seems to be a recurring theme! Good luck for the day, very impressed you're thinking of returning on the same day, you'll probably see me on your way back

If you are not 100% fit it's a long way to go, you could cause more harm to your hamstring, perhaps better to rest it get fit again and do it next year.

How did it go Sian?
