Paul~



I followed your advice last year when I was heading to the Chicago marathon and
it worked.? I got through the entire distance with no ITB flare up.



Additionally, it hasn't bothered me since, after 2 years of trouble with it.?
I'm heading to Chicago again in two weeks and I haven't had the slightest bit of
ITB pain throughout the training!

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.
