I pulled a hamstring during the New York City Marathon. An hour into the race, I jumped off the couch.
A hamstring is definitely nothing to play with. There are chronic hamstring injuries where guys think it is fine, and they go out there and try to run and pull it again.
That's probably the biggest difference from a hamstring to different injuries. You can play through pain with other injuries. But as I found out quickly with a hamstring, if you're feeling any pain, eventually, it's not going to work.
You've got to be careful with any injury, but I mean, if you research hamstrings, if you know anything about hamstrings, you've definitely got to be careful.
I basically run on two hamstrings on my right leg and three on the other. I'm losing a third of the power.
I've had 30 hamstring tears.
Hopefully Andy Carroll has only tweeted his hamstring.
Thankfully, hamstring injuries don't take that long to heal.
The only way to get a three to four-month break would be to tear a tendon or a hamstring or something like that.
