Here is what worked for me.<br /><br />I started doing lunges and squats. No gym weight, just using body weight. I stretch before and after my runs. I use three specific stretches just for the IT band. And most important, I worked really hard on my stride and foot plant. I was a forefoot striker and really over striding. Let me know of you need those stretches.The running Schlubhttp://runningschlub.blogspot.com/?m=1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-74765433495224079342014-06-28T20:26:02.607-04:002014-06-28T20:26:02.607-04:00Send out an alert if you find a magical IT band re...Send out an alert if you find a magical IT band remedy!

I have been dealing with mine for 5 months. Since the injury I must have been over compensating with other muscles because now I have hip and pelvic problems. I am going to ortho for that next week though. The only advice I can give is just LOTS of stretching which I am sure you have been doing. My it band pain seemed to be worse at night and I read a book that stated that usually is normal. Good luck with that. I can certainly sympathize with you.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-83617110111970815522014-06-27T09:55:59.352-04:002014-06-27T09:55:59.352-04:00I haven't worked out at ALL this week.

Last night I started feeling soreness in my IT band and realized I'm going to have to give in and buy new shoes. I was hoping this pair would hold out until the end of July / beginning of August and I could ask for a new pair for my bday, haha.

Sorry about the IT band. Wish I could help but this girl is all about hamstring/hip issues :(<br /><br />Since I am taking a month from running & trying to let my aches/pains quiet down, I had a lot of pool time this week. Mon = walk. Tues/Thurs = swim + pool running. Wed = bike. Not sure what I will do today but need to figure it out in the next 20 minutes or so. Weekend = rest both days since we are heading up to Steamboat Springs today. Oh yeah, and I did a flow yoga dvd (15 mins) 2 days and WOW, sun salutations pretty much work the whole body, am I right. Sheesh. <br /><br />Really sorry about the IT band. Hoping it calms down soon.<br />Enjoy your weekend and run w/friends.Susannoreply@blogger.com
