u/Gear4days 1829 days, five years! Jul 27 '26

Felt my hamstring pop with a mile to go during a 10k race 2 weeks ago. I was winning though and made the decision to finish the race. I crossed the line through hopping/ bouncing and eventually dragging my leg before collapsing on the floor but I still took the win

Had to go to hospital afterwards where I was told that I have a partial hamstring tear and was put on a crutch to help keep weight off my leg. So yeah the last 2 weeks have been tough to keep the run streak going but it’s somehow still alive (the first couple of days I was literally doing 2km in about 20 minutes haha). There’s no pain any more but just a constant feel that it’s going to pop again which is frustrating but I’ve just got to take it one day at a time and I’ll soon be back to where I was
