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

    congrats for your PB 🤗

    on the ITB issue

    I solved my problems about 10 years ago:

    • moved to minimalist shoes (barefoot running eventually) that promoted a better running form and be more strong and stable.

    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

      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.
