My IT band started acting up again today on my run. I even stopped running 2 times to "stretch" then when my 5 miler was done I stopped and stretched before I walked home. NO stretches what so ever work for me EXCEPT rolling on the foam roller. I NEED to find one that works standing. I need to find SOMETHING that will work when I need to stop to stretch it out. I do not get it. I have no idea what I am doing wrong or why it does not work.
I either feel NOTHING or I feel it in the WRONG places. Standing stretches do not work, sitting stretches do not work, twisting & looking like contortionist does not work!
Do not know what else to do.
I do not even know how to properly warm up before I run...unless what I am doign is proper. I run slow for about 1 mile. By slow I mean slower then I set out to do. Such as today I did about 12 min.mile for 1 mile then started doing my pace of 11 min/mile.
Anyone know what I can do to get the exercises to work for me?!! Or how about something that WILL work for me besides rolling it out?! Do I roll it out BEFORE I run?! ADVICE please?!
I can NOT go to a dr, a chiro, nor anything else that costs $. I do NOT have insurance and can not afford to pay for anything out of pocket. Just heads up. Thank you guys!!
Also I wanted to mention I have 1000 articles saved on my computer. I have and keep doing searches about ITBS online. Blah...
Nothing more to say...That's all folks!
XOXOXO
