High Hamstring Tendinopathy - Speeding up Your Running

In this video, Maryke explains why, when you are making a comeback to running while still recovering from high hamstring tendinopathy, it's important to view "speed" and what you think of as fast running differently compared to when you used to just train for performance.

Would you take a similar approach to getting back to cycling? I have been trying to return to my bike, but alternating easy spinning with a few minutes out of the saddle (which is usually higher power) to reduce time sitting, but should I be just keeping it all easy pace?

Can you do a video on distal hamstring tendinopathy please

[@dontaefrancis6743]

Most videos I’ve seen on hamstring are proximal and not distal

What about sprinting? I am a rugby player that took the winter off season to try and increase acceleration and top and speed. As a result I’ve developed for the first time high hamstring tendinopathy I’ve been doing conditioning runs at 8 to 9 miles an hour with no pain, but as soon as I push past that even a small amount in a sprint session the pain flares up. Any tips for how to get back to sprint training?

So, the hamstrings work super hard when we sprint - the best way to condition them for it is through strength training. I found that the leg curl machine can be really useful in this case because you can slowly increase the weight in a very controlled way and also work 1 leg at a time. Seated leg curl can be very useful if your hamstring will tolerate it but avoid the fully straight out and super bent positions e.g. stop before leg goes fully straight. Also test it with gentle session first and then slowly increase the weight until you get to heavy loads. If you wanted help figuring out your rehab, I can recommend my colleagues Barry and Kevin for this - they are both very experienced in high hamstring injuries + rugby rehab and can assess it and provide a treatment plan via video call.
