My hamstring keeps twinging when I run. Such an annoying time to not be able to run, it was such a lifeline in early lockdown.

I keep leaving it for a week and it seems better, but then even a gentle run seems to twinge it!

Weirdly it happened after starting regular yoga, which I would have assumed might reduce the risk of injury. Guess I could've overstretched it and left it vulnerable.

Ho hum

In case it helps, mine was on the verge of pinging for ages. I started using a physio ball, slightly smaller than a tennis ball and quite firm. I'd massage it by sitting on a hard dining chair with the ball under my hamstring. Really sorted me out and actually quite satisfying.

Thanks. I actually did dig out an old bike polo ball to have a go at this, but didn't stick with it.

I'll get back on it and see if it helps!
