4. Massage – As a grad student, massages are not in my budget right now. But, I do enjoy a nice massage from my foam roller. I lay on my side and place the foam roller under my hip. Moving up and down, I run the roller from my hip to my mid-thigh and back. Warning, it is a little painful, but it helps to stretch my muscles and relieve post-run soreness.
5. Take a break – I am cutting down on my miles this week to give me knee a little time off. Once I am done with the half, I will change my workout a bit to incorporate more low impact workouts like swimming and the elliptical. Anyone else have ITBS or some other form of knee pain? How are you treating the injury? What works best?Comments will be approved before showing up.
