Tight hamstring muscles are a common complaint among runners. The action of this muscle group is to bend the knee and extend the hip; the movement performed when pushing off the ground when running.
To prevent these muscles from becoming "tight," it is important to stretch them immediately before and after running any amount of distance. With effective stretching, the muscle fibers will lengthen and the pulling/tight sensation will decrease. Hamstring stretching is also an important way to prevent running injuries.
