T...I've been doing the hamstring stretches myself. They tend to get tight toward the end of any run.<BR/>Eye on the prize. Fit Camp is an investment, so talk to those who conduct it. They will understand. After all, how many others in the camp are going to do a marathon as soon as your are?CewTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559024822260264420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32790015.post-70984633013149700202007-09-28T05:44:00.000-05:002007-09-28T05:44:00.000-05:00Don't despair, Susan. Certified fitness instructor...Don't despair, Susan. Certified fitness instructors should always allow modifications for those who have injuries or other limitations (I used to be one). You might also consider getting a good sports massage if the hammy doesn't improve soon. In the meantime, XT will help maintain your fitness level until you can run again.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32790015.post-59322322775571116282007-09-27T10:00:00.000-05:002007-09-27T10:00:00.000-05:00Oh Susan honey - don't get dispirited. Re. fitnes...Oh Susan honey - don't get dispirited. Re. fitness camp - do not do anything that might be contributing to your pain. Do they know you have this pain? Do you have a tame physio or someone (pref. a runner) you can go talk to for advice? During training for my first marathon I suffered from terrible knee pains which I controlled through massage from an osteopath (it really did help) and a break after the marathon. I know the blind panic you feel when you think this might keep happening but if you take it easy and keep stretching you will probably be fine. But keep your eyes on the prize hon - focus on the marathon and being fit to run!Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.com
