SMS_Clarkey Apr 2014 9:20pm, 1 Apr 2014 10 posts	Quote Pin SMS_Clarkey Good news for you Jock. Well guys been away a while trying to get this ITB syndrome sorted for the last 4 weeks. Been biking a quite a bit and managed a 5 mile run yesterday and 6 miles today (tightly strapped!) with no ill effects. Just need to get a few more runs in before the day to boost my confidence which is flagging at the moment.

Gentle stretching and rollering and keep things ticking over. You'll have a whole Fetchpoint team with their fingers and toes crossed for you all day if that helps?

Garfield Apr 2014 9:49am, 2 Apr 2014 4,499 posts	Quote Pin Garfield For some stretches, that is. There's another one but it's more easily demonstrated than described that gives even more relief. I need to find it online.
Debart Apr 2014 9:49pm, 2 Apr 2014 234 posts	Quote Pin Debart Hope the ITB getting better Clarkey. Strange now not doing so many miles. So stressed with changes at work that I hope this doesn't affect my marathon performance, not getting a lot of sleep.
SMS_Clarkey Apr 2014 3:40pm, 4 Apr 2014 12 posts	Quote Pin SMS_Clarkey Well guys had my first leg massage last night and was told my IT band was very supple and only had a couple of knots in my quads so all the stretching and rollering has really paid off and the extra long taper of course! Thanks ALL for the comments and the links (Garfiled) I'm feeling much more confident and capable now. Plus a new knee support (which has been tested on a couple of runs) feels good and has given me a psychological boost. Woo Hoo bring it on I'm ready!!!
