Hamstring stretching
Chiropractic adjustment will help.
Towel Hamstring Stretch
Lie on the back, supporting the thigh with the hand or with a towel wrapped around it..
Slowly straighten the knee until a stretch is felt in the back of the thigh, trying to get the bottom of the foot to face the ceiling, one leg at a time.
Hold the position initially for 10 seconds, and gradually work up to 20 to 30 seconds.
Seated Hamstring Stretch
While sitting at the edge of a chair, straighten one leg in front of the body with the heel on the floor.
Then, sit up straight and try pushing the navel towards the thigh without leaning the trunk of the body forwards.
Hold this stretch for 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Chiropractic Mobilization.

Hi, problem with respect to your function which is running and with walking u don’t find any discomfort, in my opinion u need to check your muscle strength and condition with respect to your functional performance! Think work on your core in connection with hip and lower extremity muscle strength, connect to a good sports therapist and do your rehab protocol..
Next Steps
Meet sports physiotherapy for rehab protocol
Health Tips
Check your movement muscle components with respect to your function

It seems to be some muscular imbalance. Consult with a physiotherapist who have orthopaedic experience for proper biomechanical assessment and corrective treatment.
