@Bones doh! Strain or worse?
@taniwharugby nah just a light strain I think. Was feeling a bit tight and niggly at training and went to step to the outside and got the "ping".
Went to test this morning with a light jog before a 5km run and probably could have done it, but would have just made it worse. No restriction on walking or anything, so hopefully some drugs, deep heat and a bit of rest/walking might have it right for a Sunday run.

The thought of performing any sort of athletic activity, ie standing up and then walking, after a decent leg day fills me with all sorts of dread

Hammy gave out about halfway through training again, bastard. Tips and tricks other than rest, ice, ibuprofen, deep heat? It's a funny one as it seems to start to tighten and then a few minutes later goes as I step off my left on the move.
Will start off with some decent walking and look to start to build up to sprinting then changing direction at pace...

@Bones touch wood I've never had issues with my hammies, and TBH, prior to 2018, in regard to muscle injuries, I had never done more than mildly strain a muscle.
But I strained (turned out a bad strain I think) my calf playing golden oldies, it felt like someone had punched me in the calf, I turn and there is no one there...
Anyway, it felt ok a fortnight later, light running, then playing touch the following week, and damned if the other calf had a mild strain too (my guess is I spent 3 weeks over compensating)
Was 2nd to last game anyway, so plenty of time to recover after that, but my right calf (first one I injured)
Anywho, long story short, dont rush it!
You being 41, you are nearing the top of the hill, stuff takes longer to heal, and quicker to hurt again.
Although my calf injury was less to do with age, and more to do with the 3 or 4 handles in between games (thats my story and I am sticking with it)
