  3. Stretching & Mobility Exercises: High flexibility in your hamstrings is crucial for maximising your running stride and preventing injury via overstretching. Yoga can be a great method for enhancing hamstring flexibility, with exercises such as downward-facing dogs. Dynamic stretches, such as the lying hamstring stretch, are reported to be the most effective at preparing individuals for a run. https://physiofrog.io/

  4. Strengthening Exercises: Stronger hamstrings improve your hips’ stability and enhance running efficiency — improving comfort and speed. Great exercises for improving strength include: deadlifts, lunges, hamstring curls, glute bridges. https://physiofrog.io/

  5. Plyometrics: Incorporating plyometric exercises into your regimen will enhance your power and explosiveness — crucial for sprinting! Box jumps, jumping lunges, and skipping drills assist in enhancing the fast-twitch muscle fibres of the hamstrings, improving their speed and agility. https://physiofrog.io/

  6. Hill Training: Hill training provides both mental and physical improvement. Hill workouts challenge the muscles in a different way, promoting better strength development and endurance. This will dramatically enhance your speed on flat surfaces. Furthermore, the ego you develop because of hill training will give you the confidence to push yourself on the flat surface, maximising your potential. https://physiofrog.io/

  7. Rest & Recovery: A successful hamstring running program should include sensible durations of rest and recovery. Overworking the muscles without ample recovery time can lead to overuse injuries and a stagnation in your performances. Integrating rest days and proper recovery techniques such as foam rolling, stretching, and massage are vital for optimising muscle repair and growth. https://physiofrog.io/
