[Download] The Ultimate IT Band Guide for Running Healthy
Are you a runner who’s been frustrated in the past that whenever you try to train for a marathon you get sharp pain on the outside of your knee?
Iliotibial Band Syndrome can be frustrating for many runners during a long run when you get that sudden jolt of knee pain that just stops you in your tracks and then you have to deal with lingering achiness and stiffness throughout your day when you get up from a chair, go down stairs, kneel, or squat.
Are you worried that your knee pain will come back during marathon training because you think you are just preordained to get ITB syndrome?
Training for a marathon doesn’t need to be painful and you don’t have to rely on the following strategies (that actually don’t fix the problem) of icing your knee after your runs, ice it, using a IT band strap, KT tape, or doing IT band stretches.
In this episode, I am going to unravel the mystery of how we as runners can prevent IT band pain during marathon training!
Whether you are about to embark on marathon training for beginners or you are a seasoned marathoner who has suffered through knee pain during your 16, 18, or 20 mile long runs then this episode is for you!
