I ran out towards Mini GU corner, after about a mile I stopped and stretched and then right before my second mile my IT band started to hurt so I stretched some more and then turned and headed for home stopping and stretching as needed... After I finished I did some more stretching at my house and then I went out and tacked on another mile and then I stretched some more after that last mile. I then did 15 minutes on the elliptical, with no pain on the IT band and then I finished up with some push-ups and strength training on my legs, one set of calf raises and then some quad raises high reps in each set. Average pace was 8:29 HR average was 132 total time was 42:45, alot longer than that actually by the time you add in all the stretching. I will ice for 15 minutes and then see how it goes tomorrow hopefully I can get in another run and at least keep my base mileage up until I get over this little set back.
See ya tomorrow |
