I normally run about 30 miles a week. Well Saturday I decided to do some sprints for the first time in a long time. I did warm up but I didn’t do any stretching. They felt really tight afterwards, took the next day off, went for a run this morning and they feel pretty tight. Not painful, just uncomfortably tight. I ended my run after a mile as I didn’t know if I was helping or hurting it.
Should I be ok to do some light zone 2 running? Or should I completely rest my legs until hamstrings feel normal again?
I plan to start doing more leg exercises to strengthen them so this doesn’t happen again once I’m back to normal.

Try using a heating pad prior/immediately after runs. I've been turning on my seat warmers on the way to the gym for squat/DL days for years, and then I stretch the shite out of them.
