Anyone ever irritate your IT Band? Suggested remedies?
By the time I did all that I would be to tired to run.The only thing I ever did well as a runner was fix sore IT bands. Using the affected leg only, stand straight on a stair or other slightly elevated item of some sort, with the other leg hanging down. Keep the knee straight and move the dangling leg/hip straight down and up again several times and try to really feel your IT band working as you do it. Of course don't run while you are rehabbing, but it could be good in a just a few days if you are like me.
We had to take those when I played football. Hardest thing I ever did! Liked to died!Take yoga classes. Some are designed specifically for runners.
If you see me running, then you better be runnin too cuz something is after us.
I had an old school drill sergeant like that. Thought it was stupid we ran PT, unless something was chasing us or we were chasing it.
I'm a jogger. 20-25 miles a week sometimes. Helps me get away from the wife.
Awesome. I don't know if it's a matter of strengthening the IT band, generating some blood flow, or a little of both. But it was downright miraculous for me. No idea what site I found that on, but I remember doing a pretty deep dive to find it.Thanks to all for the suggestions.
@ Gsmecock1999, I have done a ton of reading on this subject and never once came across that stretch. Working wonders already, thanks!
LOL! Amen to that. I cut the grass on my riding mower reealllll sllllooowwwww.
Knock on wood, I’m 66 and have never had any knee or leg problems in logging thousands of miles. During my runs I mix speeds and techniques up over a 4 or 5 mile distance. I will occasionally run a 10K as my max distance. I’m hoping to someday run a half- marathon. I rest my body every three or four days.
That's the way to do it. I wish I could run on the beach every morning as running in sand not only strengthens your legs, it's much better for your joints.Knock on wood, I’m 66 and have never had any knee or leg problems in logging thousands of miles.
