How can I strengthen my hamstrings?

I am a 5’ 3”, 55-year-old female weighing 115 lbs. I have run two half-marathons and would like to continue to run long distances, eventually including marathons. After each race, however, my hamstrings are sore. Can you recommend exercises or workouts that will strengthen my hamstrings and prevent them from remaining sore for up to a week afterward?
