ITB problems surface after 3 years   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5903 of 6509 |
I've been running for 3 years and have 4 marathons and probably 10 half's
completed. Am in good shape for 49 yrs old (no weight gain since high school)
but recently after a 18 mile run the outside of my knee is burning and hurting.
I just took 5 days off and with a 4 mile run it is hurting again.
I have a marathon scheduled in 10 days. Does it make any sense to just run a
couple more days in between for 2-3 miles and take a Motrin on my marathon day
or am I fooling myself? I've trained for 18 weeks and the marathon start is
literally a half mile from my house!
Anything I can do in 10 days to pull this off?

More importantly, how can I get back into the groove and enjoy my running
again?

If you are hurting after just 4 miles I would say you may need to sit this one out. It can get better but not that quick and not with running a marathon right...

... I will join those advising you to stay out from this. I came down with ITBS after my first marathon in 2004. At first it was hurting after 4 miles. I ...
