4 miles today--no KT tape,
4 miles today--no KT tape, just massage beforehand (my glutes have been contributing to my ITBS) and a focus on my pelvic form. No issues with my IT band (or anywhere else, for that matter!) Woo hoo!
Joshh--I'm so glad it's helping! A lot of people recommend foam rolling, and for many that gets rid of ITBS. It wasn't enough for me but foam rolling and other "self massage" techniques have still been a crucial part of my recovery plan. (I might have stopped running if it wasn't for my foam roller.) Also, that form change I'm making (see the Chi Running links I posted in the first post) is, I think, going to make a huge difference for me. Good luck!!
