Rest, ice: Quad strains can be very mild (Grade 1) to severe (Grade 3) with severe involving major tearing. Recurrence is common if you return to sprinting too soon. Avoid stretching the quad b/c the muscle is already overstretched. Rest from jogging until you have been pain-free with everyday activities for 5-7 days. Then jogging/biking before sprinting. Do not push through pain. Ice x 20 min 2-4 times/day.
