Aqua jogging keeping your knees nearly straight is a great cross-training
approach for runners. Also swimming without doing a scissors kick s good. In
addition to using the roller and stretching, make sure that when you do run
your affected IT is on the high side of any slope in the road. This unloads
your injured ITB so it is not as tight and less subject to friction. A
cortisone
injection 5 days before the race is also advisable.
