Subject: Torn Hamstring

I tore my left hamstring about 10 days ago water skiing.  Now down to 12 weeks for Silverman.  Am I crazy to think about the full or should I suck up the pride and step down to the half?  What F'in luck, been training since about late April, May and now this..... 

any help or thoughts would be great...

First, see a sports medicine doctor. Tell them what you want to do and they might break out some real aggressive treatment for it.

Also, take it super easy for a minute to try to give the hamstring a chance to heal. If you train on it, it will never heal, even if it's just a strain. So take a week or so of rest and ice and all the other stuff you're supposed to do. See what happens.

After you see a doctor and see how the hammy responds to treatment, then make your decision. You have time with Silverman.
