Foam Roller

on Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 11:02 PM

Did 6 mile recovery run today. Average pace was around 9:45.

I bought a foam roller on the weekend after reading about ways of loosening up my IT Band. I've been having left knee pains and I think it may have something to do with my ITB. My Stick isn't quite giving me the effect I wanted so I got a roller to apply a bit more pressure. I tried it for the first time yesterday and it really is painful, but in a good kind of way.

I feel your pain, bro. You NEED to foam roll. Also, may I recommend hip flexor exercises. You may be suffering from a weak gluteus medius, which is my problem.

Simply lay on your side hip and raise your lef as high as you can, try 30 reps or until failure on BOTH legs.
