I'd be very careful. Perhaps theyr on the verge of over use. I'd back off immediately, a few days to a week easy is way better than weeks off injured. I definitely wouldn't start doing heaving lifting (lifting does have a good place but I'd be cautious this is it). Look into eccentric hamstring exercises and start easy - IE floor sliders. Also get a massage and foam roll regularly. You can self massage but a proper one would be good. I'm not a fan of streaching, except for PNF done with somone. As above, exercises are my preferred way to look after muscles, and massage and rest.
