Every running community needs some advice on ITB issues. What’s yours? (Since I need some with the Gold Coast Marathon in 3 weeks)

So… an update … I backed way off training and did no running the week before the race. I finished the marathon with a PB and the knee felt ok for most of it. But could barely walk for 2 days after because of the itb. I tried an easy run 4 days after, but it was too painful. It’s now 9 days after and I’ll try again this afternoon for another easy run
congrats for your PB 🤗
on the ITB issue
I solved my problems about 10 years ago:
transition took time and patience, so put ego aside and look at the long term.
In that time ITB stretching with this pose in a relaxed and mantained way helped me a lot to relieve pain and also be preventive
THE FIRST PICTURE WITH HER BACK IN THE GROUND
You know I don’t need much of an excuse to try anything different so I might have to grab a pair of minimalist shoes to try when they’re on sale. Not sure I want to pay full price without knowing if I’ll like them. Do you reckon Altra is minimalist enough? What brands do you recommend?
I have been doing similar stretches but I wouldn’t say consistently. I’ll definitely give that one a go.
