Patience: If it is hamstring tendinitis, allowing it to heal completely before resuming your training regime is best. Oftentimes in my practice, patients may return to play too soon and then it becomes a lingering issue for some time. Generally speaking 4-6 weeks should heal it. I would suggest another activity in the interim. Perhaps stationary bike if that does not irritate it.
