Iliotibial Band…

…is not one of the more obscure groups in my music collection but, according to my mate Marie, the cause of my recent knee injury. It’s a band that runs from the hip to the knee and it’s a common injury for professional runners, and I can testify that quite a few rubbish runners get it too. The solution, according to my mate Kerry, is rest for 3 days (I like that), ice (good in a G&T but we can share), and ibuprofen. This is day two of resting; I’ll rest it again tomorrow and get back to training on Thursday.

    Hi Andrew, sorry to hear about you knee injury…
    I hope it will not jeopardize your season.
    When is your next course and where ?
    I am currently preparing the 20 km of brussels in May.
    But if you are in Brussels I will run a 10 km in the Forest the week before.Interested?
    Regards,

    Absolutely! I’m running the Cork marathon on June 2nd, a pre-marathon Belgian 10K sounds like a great idea!
