Went down to ES Marks in the evening for the RunCrew session. No Alex this week but Sam Strutt and Tiger's ever increasing crew of attractive female runners was there to chase. Session was 2 x 6 x 400m. 400's were rolling off 2:10's and we had a 5min rest between sets.
First set of 6 were a bit laborious trying to settle in. Reps went 70, 69, 68, 68, 69, 68. Was about 2 or 3 seconds behind Sam on each. Then the second set started and suddenly I feel great. 68, 67, 67, 67 then, fucky wank shite, my hamstring tightens up down the back straight while overtaking Sam so I pull up at 200m. Try and stretch, try and do a jog but it's pretty tender and tight. Get home and stick it on ice. I blame the lack of beers in my diet over the past few days. Plainly not getting enough salt. Should never rattle the cage and do things different.
Now to rest and hope it comes good by Sunday. If it does, it could be just the enforced rest I need.
(Haha, just checked the blog for C2S last year as I seemed to remember I strained my hammy in the week before then too. And it looks like I had an identical blog post heading on this day last year. Maybe Timmy is on to something!)

That sucks!
Wondered why you weren't in the results, hope your not out for too long. Or is it just precaution not to race.
