If you have ITB problems you need to step away and let the ITB recover. And stretch the ITB like crazy during recovery and forever.

Went 4 miles on a trial run today at fairly easy pace. Interestingly, my quads, hammies, butt, and the like were fine. My calves and Achilles were on fire and they've given me no issues during the sore periods.

Weird that they were the pain.

Care to expand on why you believe that?

I squat everyday and do 25 minutes of lunges daily for cardio instead of treadmill or bike. My legs are usually only sore after my dedicated "leg day" (day when I focus primarily on legs and do more than just squats and lunges). The more you work it the more your body will be able to handle. Everyday is leg day.

Ice bath, trust me. Try sitting for 15 min




Came here to post this. You can do this in a bath tub too. Just cold tap water and refill and freeze water bottles and jugs. Toss them in.

Weighted or just body weight around a track?

Bodyweight, but you can add a weight vest if you get used to it. I do it on the track or at the gym. If you want to really increase definition/size in your legs consider adding it to your routine. And it will throw your matabalism into hyperdrive if you do it fasted in the morning.

Cory Gregory (guy mentioned above) writes workouts along with tons of other content like form videos, diets, blog questions, podcast, etc and the workout I follow is called "get stacked". He writes a new one every 4 weeks and it's always legit. His site is $8 a month but worth every penny.

Yeah I do. I just started doing it for mass last week now that summer is coming to an end.

The IT band itself is way too dense to ever roll out. You simply can't impact it by rolling it.

Now, people are often mistaken that they are making a difference because they are actually hitting the "seam" where their other muscles are in the area.

I'm not fully in the don't roll it camp, because if test/retest results in great range of motion, you've helped something.

I've seen results from people I've helped by simply relaxing into the roller or ball in one area, then repeatedly bringing your heel to your butt. Then move the pressure two inches down and repeat.
