Healthy Runner Podcast

How do I stop my IT band from hurting when I run?  This may have been a question you googled after feeling a sharp, achy pain on the outside of your knee after a run especially if you had a lot of hills.   You may have started reading about IT band syndrome and thought you should just ice, rest (stop running), and do some IT band stretches.  This all sounds great but the problem is when you start running again and building up your long runs that pain comes back and now you are just running through it because you don’t want to stop again. In this episode I share with you 4 can’t miss tips to get back to running with IT band syndrome.  These have been the tried, true, and tested strategies that have kept all of the runners I work with on a 1:1 basis running during their recovery and then finally say goodbye to knee pain for good!
