Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I am struggling with injuty at the moment with tight hamstrings. Should I still be running?. Tightness moves from bum area to inside of leg to just above knee. I have missed races and training is nearly to nothing

Are you sure it's hamstrings? A pulled/strained/tight hamstring normally manifests itself more in the middle of the muscle at some height (for me there's a spot in the middle of my right hamstring, and on both sides at the insertion points into the pelvis at the bottom of your glutes).

If it's inside thigh, that could be adductor muscles.

To answer your question, you need to decide if it's a niggle that will go away and you can run through, whether you just need to rest or whether it's more serious and you need to see a physio.
