Grade: 3
Pulled hamstring on PP hill workout by pushing it too hard and not enough strength training. Started ART therapy with Jeff Mathews DC in mid-July on weekly/bi-weekly therapy to manage it.
7/11 - first visit to Dr. Mathews has 'fixed' the hamstring issue; felt 100% better after treatment and was able to resume running & strength training without any recurrence. Will see Jeff 1x week for next 2-3 weeks before LT100.
10/26: Re-injured hamstring multiple times on track workouts and other sprints. Focusing on strength work and cross-work to heal completely.
12/3: Saw Debra Gillis DPT @ CSSC, final diagnosis is upper hamstring tear near tendon connections; therapy is dry needling and stretching/strength exercises; NO RUNNING until injury heals (cycling only at moderate pace).
3/15: Three months of recovery and strength training with CrossFit has helped strengthen the injury. No new issues with hamstring so far.
