I stopped running altogether for several weeks and then eased back into it slowly. Like 20 minutes in 1 day of 1 week, then 20 minutes on 2 days the following week and so forth. This is really frustrating, but necessary. Good luck for a quick recovery.Peter Mindehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907718697536195813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-39887936380903710362010-04-29T20:50:59.147-04:002010-04-29T20:50:59.147-04:00Dan, Find a good massage therapist.

Since then, I've been using this protocol http://www2.massgeneral.org/sports/protocols/Iliotibial%20band%20tendinitis%20rehabilitation.pdf<br />that was recommended to me by the sports meds at MGH, along with lots of icing. It works. No ITB since. This protocol has become part of my weekly training, I do it 2Xweek. Give it a try!Running and livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057835870342142162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212427032459949009.post-20128424201157390982010-04-29T08:59:50.645-04:002010-04-29T08:59:50.645-04:00Thanks Steve, I guess I won't be seeing you at...Thanks Steve, I guess I won't be seeing you at Soapstone this year.<br /><br />Laurel, I may be one of those people.
