Google Valslide leg curls. Valslides/knockoff sliders are cheap and the exercise is difficult enough to give you a true hamstring and glute workout. Can't hurt to have somewhat stronger hamstrings, though it's not necessarily the answer for issues in an endurance sport.Yes I am starting deep lunges again. Pigeon pose helped me a lot in the past. I saw a video about using an exercise ball to use your back muscles to lift your legs laying on it, it seemed like a good one for posterior everything.
I was doing some hamstring pulls curls my exercise bands and I felt my hams starting to yank. Could have been after a ride I forget.
If only it were as easy as stretching the thing that hurts.Or you can always just touch your toes before bed every night. Not every problem requires an overly complex solution.

This 100%.This is my experience- YMMV.
The thing about stretching (or using a foam roller) is that the results are not as quick as you want. Results take time.
Also, they both (especially foam rolling) can hurt like a mofo, especially with a really firm one.
I started with a super soft foam roller and worked my way to a firm roller over a course of months.
I think of stretching and rolling as daily maintenance. I try to do them everyday and when I do I feel better. When I slack, I feel that as well. It’s all part of getting older.

The other thing about stretching is that it's boring.
So is brushing your teeth.
Not stretching isn't gonna make my hamstrings fall out though.

The foam roller feels so good on the back. Part of my pre bed time / relax routine.it’s the back bone

I started doing this stretch where i lay on the end of the bed put my foam roller under my butt and hold my knee over me and let the other leg hang down for a deep hip flexor stretch.
Whatever problem i had seems better now.
HS Track Coach always suggested balancing your hill training, with equal running downhill. 👍Stretching and strengthening are mutually exclusive in my book (pnf stretching). Contract and stretch simultaneously the targeted muscle is betterer than just elongating yourself. Especially with a hamstring that is working in unison with a very large muscle like the quad.
