I did a mile warm up then headed up to the Gully with tht rest of the team and did 10.

It was not a very fun day for me. I was feeling ok for about half the run until we started doing laps around Granite Park, My IT band started bugging me and I had to slow down considerably. I finished the run without injury or getting lost so thats a positive. My IT band mostly hurts on Dimple Dell road and on downhills. On the downhills I have to favor my right leg, which will catch up to me eventually if I don't fix it now.

I have been stretching, icing and Ibuprofen-ing (just a bit). Im not quite sure what else to do about it.

Ashton - you need to roll out the tissues all around the IT band (not right on where it hurts) to break up the adhesions that are likely causing the pain. Either use a rolling stick or a foam roller. I have an extra rolling stick that you can borrow until you get it sorted out. Let me know.

I have been using a foam roller to stretch out the main portion of it. Trainer told me the pain radiates to different areas not just on the IT band.

I will try stretching out different areas around it and get back to you on how it feels.

Foam roller is best, glad that you have one. Roll everywhere on your legs (quads and hamstrings), your butt/glutes, etc.
