HMarys and Marys..... Sounds like a great goal. ITBS ..It sounds to me like you ramped up the milage too fast. A foam roller on the ITB helps a lot.
Start with the halfs the build slowly. Running is healthy and you get a big endorphin surge from it. You are on the right track. Keep thinking that way.
Definitely get the endorphine rush and the side benefits. History of heart disease and type II diabetes in my Dad's family (actually was the end of him) that I DO NOT plan to repeat.
Been a runner pretty much my whole life even though I am trapped in an ex-offfensive lineman's frame.
You are dead on on the cause of the ITBS -that is exactly what happened. Ramped up too quickly and knew better, but did it anyway. So, what else should I have expected.
Lost about 25 after the bomb - this D stuff will take it off. But, I want to drop another 15-20 in the next several months. Running and weight lifting regularly since the bomb. All good.
