Also at three day intervals I will do a set of 1 legged leg curls then a set of one legged partial range of motion leg extensions. We will see if this helps.<br /><br />Bob WildesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942096022967831214.post-65463114874028151852011-10-18T16:01:57.082+09:002011-10-18T16:01:57.082+09:00thanks Bob but that would be a little to quick for...thanks Bob but that would be a little to quick for me- for years i've had a tight hamstring that is somewhat limiting at faster running- i can still go sub 3 though,however this hacking cough isn't doing me any good.
