Quadricep Injury
i'm 16-a junior in high school...second year running track. anyways, i guess i pulled my quad after my first meet (where i P.R.ed in the 800). i iced it and stretched it a bit in the next three days before my meet yesterday. i went out and p.r. ed once again in the 4x8 but my quad was absolutely killing me afterwards and i had to scratch from the open 8. the faster i run, the more it hurts so basically i can't sprint. i was wondering if some people had any experience with this injury and what they did for a speedy recovery. i don't wanna stop running since i've p.r.ed back-to-back. also i was wondering if i should run on my meet on tuesday...
thanks.
