I am predominately a runner, but I do still ride from time to time. I'm actually hoping to increase my mileage, but I find that after 10-15 mins of hard effort the hamstring in my right leg hurts a lot.
Does it sound like running has caused an imbalance in the muscles in my legs/lower back/glutes?
Is it a case of trying some shallow squats to help my Glutes?Hmm, the single sidedness of your complaint shows that it's not the running per se (probably!) - I would start with working out what is causing the problem- so bike / fit / cleat/shoe related or body related. From a training point of view are you trying to increase your mileage AND riding harder than usual? Sorry to offer more questions than answers but you should at least try to exclude the simple "too much/too soon" possibility. Have you never ever had hammy problems before?
