Left hamstring tight?

Last week after a slow easy run i felt my left hamstring tighten up immediately after getting back home. The next day it was still tight so i decided to take 7 days off running for it to recover. My first run back was yesterday It was a slow easy one and after the run my hamstring tightened up yet again! Anything that could be causing this thanks

Are you doing any post-run stretches? (Only do them if you're warmed up. Doing them cold risks injury.)
