[Download] The Ultimate Guide to Running WITHOUT Hamstring Pain
 
Do you get pain in your butt right under your glute that gets worse when you sit during work especially after a run?
 
Do you just dread hills, that achiness feeling after a long run, long car ride or sitting on hard surfaces?
 
Like so many of you, I thought that I should just stretch my hamstring and stop running and that would solve the problem.  Unfortunately, that is probably the worst thing you can do to overcome this stubborn pain in the butt!  Get my full personal injury story here
 
In this episode, we are talking about why runners get proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT)  
 
I provide clarity on the following questions:
 
- What is proximal hamstring tendinopathy
- Why do runners get high hamstring pain
- What does proximal hamstring tendinopathy feel like
 
I also reveal my top 4 (NEW and improved) tips for overcoming PHT as a runner
 
Whether you have recently been diagnosed, self diagnosed, or have been battling hamstring pain for years, this episode is for you!
