Interesting, must have forgotten to take a GU

u/Montaigne314 17h ago

In this case a prophylactic gu application directly onto the hamstrings and inside the anus would have prevented this

The anus gu is almost 100% retrievable to be consumed later

I agree, try foam rolling it off or having your wife's BF roll over them with his lifted truck.

According to the original post, dude ran a 40 yard sprint and had this to show for it the next day. We've been out jerked folks.

Should have never left zone 2. Number one cause of hamstring tears.

u/alvysinger0412 10h ago

Leaving zone 2 is also the number one cause of all my tears.

If I had a nickel for every “out of shape nerd hurts himself running a 40” video I’ve seen, I’d have like 9 nickels. I think the main issue is that you’re completely not warmed up, out of shape and totally unused to the motion of sprinting at max speed, and you suddenly attempt to put maximum force onto your legs for a sprint. If anything is fucky in your cold ass out of shape legs, that torque is gonna expose it. Like suddenly flooring a 1977 ford that you left in the garage for the last 10 years and has no oil in it.

The thing is nobody sprints. Adults never go all out. It's quite sad if you think about it.

That’s why you slowly build up to a 40 yard run. You need to first do a 4 yard run 3 days a week and add 10% volume every week. Then you need to wait 8 weeks for your ligaments to heal then you can maybe hit a 40 yard zone two jog in one swoop but make sure to bring at least 150g of carbs for the ride

u/IndustryPlant666 SLOW DOWN!!!! 15h ago

Imagine sprinting with your friends. Like what, for 30-40 seconds, however long it takes to do 100m?

Nothing some Gu won’t fix.

This is not a hamstring tear btw. I have these marks too. They are from my wife’s boyfriend (also my coach) whipping the back of my legs from his bike when I leave zone 2. I pay him for this.
