And although I normally detest the elliptical – I actually like that new fancy one at the gym. You can adjust the speed, resistance and height of the steps. I got a really good workout with no impact yesterday.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-83956857920998546022011-01-27T08:46:25.837-06:002011-01-27T08:46:25.837-06:00James - when I last had an IT injury, I did self m...James - when I last had an IT injury, I did self massage using a hard ball that I had found at Big Buck Sports. It's yellow, about the size of a softball and looks like a large golf ball. I would place the ball against the wall and then do cross friction massage several times a day. That, along with ice, anti-inflammatory meds and the ET seemed to help. I really do think that with this injury, doing equal time/effort on the ET will give you much the same benefits as running. Good luck!Becky Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682051410266743041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-5004719783012328612011-01-27T03:42:18.062-06:002011-01-27T03:42:18.062-06:00Take care of yourself.

Just my theory with myself. Not that I've given up the bike yet, b/c I need SOMETHING to do every day and can't make it to the pool on a daily basis. Ok, I'm done!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-80940208288165229802011-01-26T09:43:09.660-06:002011-01-26T09:43:09.660-06:00I think I will be able to nip this in the bud (3 w...I think I will be able to nip this in the bud (3 weeks until my marathon - I was starting the taper anyway).<br /><br />And no, I do not like to take meds. I will take the NSAIDS if I have to but will prob just go without. The injury only hurts when running and only hurts bad when running fast.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-24044923604837288302011-01-26T09:34:32.589-06:002011-01-26T09:34:32.589-06:00Interesting that I am experiencing the EXACT same ...Interesting that I am experiencing the EXACT same thing. I took time off and it did no good for me. I took off over a month, 6 weeks to be exact. I stretched, iced, rested. No dice.<br /><br />Pain does not equal weakness. Pain is usually caused from NOT being weak and by going out and working your butt off day in and day out. Never ashamed of pain, just of not being able to complete my workouts.<br /><br />SOOOOO, are you taking the IB Profens too? Finished reading your articles from yesterday and never want to take one again in my life haha. <br /><br />Keep us posted.Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-71254874104630571572011-01-26T08:57:52.319-06:002011-01-26T08:57:52.319-06:00As someone who hasn't run in 5 weeks and is no...As someone who hasn't run in 5 weeks and is no where ready to return to running, believe me, take the time off. I was stupid--would take a day or two off here or there, got ART, iced, etc., but still pushed through the pain on runs. And here I sit. It's a bear of an injury--keep it at bay!!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.com
