Ran with a group this morning. 6 miles @ 8:35 pace. Enjoyable run that went by quickly while talking to people.

I have not been posting in this thread because I haven't been running. I got smacked around a couple weeks ago with some IT Band pain. I've only managed to put 6 miles in each of the past weeks. Someone please offer their story of overcoming this crap. I'm starting to find myself in a state of runner's depression.

Foam rolling and crying. The crying was more a side affect of the foam rolling though. Rolling my IT band is one of the more painful things to roll.

I tend to get it when I start up after a long period of no running. Luckily haven't had it in a very long time. It was never extremely painful. It was just uncomfortable and I could tell something was not right.

Take this as non-expert advice (worked for me):

1. Foam rolling
2. Cold pack/ice for 15 minutes just before bedtime
3. Get on youtube and check out some running form videos... you might be surprised. I've yet to have anymore ITB issues since I learned a little and started focusing on form when running.

Become 1 with the rowing machine. It will keep your cardio going while you rest.
Also, ice and NSAIDs should be your best friend.

Damn, y’all got some nice times

I really need to incorporate some speed work into my next training plan. I feel like I can run a marathon right now at close to 8:30 pace but would struggle to be under 7:30 pace in a 5K

left foot is still a little sore after my self-marathon Sunday. Swam a little today. The Y by our house is starting to get on my nerves. Lap swimming is a distant afterthought at the pool, the weight room sucks, and the bikes/treadmills are meh. Gonna look into LifeTime.

Thew dewpoint is freaking 75degrees right now and it's still 86 degrees. please make it stop. I'll get back on feet in am for a 10K w some speed intervals.

I listened to a great podcast the other day on "the science of ultra" and Jason Koop was on. Highly recommended. 1 thing that stood out was your exact comment. Most ultra/distance runners have an LT within 5%, or even less, of VO2 max.

Gotta raise the celing if ya want the other stuff to rise with.

Started two a days today to help build miles/endurance while the hot arse summer drags on past September.

It’s a nice little bonus three days a week in the morning on days that I’m not doing speed work.

I do most of my training in the afternoon so it’s a welcomed change of pace.

I found this well written article of the effect a cross-over gait has on a runner's IT band. I've know for some time that I run with a cross-over gait, ranging from modest to severe based on the speed and distance I am running. I was able to put in a painless 5k yesterday evening at a rather quick pace by adjusting my feet placement and preventing my knees from coming in to far. I think I consumed more energy focusing my mind on that than by actually running.
