Well I biked this morning for about 45 minutes and then went and played basketball tonight. I have biked three times in the past two weeks and my hamstrings have been extra tight as a result (my core work has dropped off lately) Tight hamstrings and what is my idea of a cure? A game of basketball. I understand in theory that I need to establish a running base before I can run 50 miles but putting that theory into practice has been interupted by basketball, biking and hiking. I also have to watch out for the two workouts in one day.
I played basketball for about an hour and fifteen minutes tonight and the last two games I was basically limping around with one good hamstring as my left hamstring was a knot. I did not pull it and hopefully it is just tight and will be better in a couple of days. Right now though it hurts quite a bit. I think that I can get away with one session of either basketball or biking a week but no more. The new goal is to run and not substitute other workouts for runs. Maybe I can do that in a few years when I am 10 or 15 pounds lighter and have a much bigger running base but right now I just need to run.
Happy trails,
Robert
