Anytime you guys get a muscle rip, especially the hamstring, that's some slow healing.
Be sure to stretch carefully when your warming up because the place that's hurt will stretch the least.
By warming up and stretching slowly and carefully before going hard, you protect the injury site.

Any medics want to jump in here? I don't know if this is now good advice.

This is what i learned from two very good tears of my hamstring while logging the big stuff in Oregon.

Healing time of nine months plus before all the pain went away.
