Watching you run up to the camera I immediately noticed your crossover stride. That tends to be number one reason for ITB syndrome in most runners. Try slightly widening the stride stance and that will immediately relieve pressure off the IT band. After dealing with ITB syndrome myself for about six months- I run in Vibram five fingers- slightly widening my stance immediately took care of the problem. I went from feeling the pain after 5 km to running pain free 10 km first time I tried it. No pain afterwards either - except for slight groin soreness. Forefoot running is the way to go! Cheers!
I am sure you prob mean roll glute med and tfl rather than rolling the actual itb (which shouldn't be rolled as is an unyielding structure and not a muscle) great advice on cadence and running light x
oh my od, you have no idea how much your words have helped me, i don't know why this video doesnt havemore videos (not that numbers hsould matter). Let me tell you what just happened. today i had trouble runnign as per previous comment. could not finish simple beginner run of 5k 1min walk,7min run...then just now htought i would try your words, i know i pronate, and have tried not overstriding, i listened to noise and short step and No/very little pain in same day,i couldn't. contd.
Thanks for these four tips, Will. Although they are generic (rather than specifically targeted at the ITB only), each of them is very helpful in reducing the overall risk of injury while running. :)
i will admit it is strange at first re-traing myself to do thse things but it is wokring right away! remaining quiet, getting that. not sure if im plating feet behind hips? not overstriding - getting there i also found i wasn't as tired and sweating as muhc,not sure if bad or not, is there such thing as not enough stride being bad. anyway brilliant video,thanks again,sorry for 3 comments but hope this helps someone,espeically beginners like me who got scared of itb,& changing it NOW!
this makes no sense, you would have to lean forward at a 20 degree angle, especially landing with the midfoot? Maybe sprinting uphill you can achieve this???
I don’t think you can without simply falling on your face. He was probably landing with his foot in front of the hip, and now with his foot under his hip, and it feels behind?
thank you so much i am trying so hard to reserach what will help the cause, did you ever use the strap near knee or is it all the tips you mentioned, I really apprecaite any tips,even if repeating what you say. thank you so much!
1. Landing in the midfoot
2. Landing with feet behind hip.
3. Prevent over striding.
4.Lightrunning (stand tall).

Sir please help me with my ITB sir 🥺
It would be great if you can show how to be sure to do all of these.
i started running almost exactly a year ago and have followed these principles since day one, i now regularly run 50km + weeks with no issues
Your words are epic and I need to see your video 3 times to get most of your points...
Its huge amount of wisdom packed in 5 mins Video... great work

not overstriding - getting there

How would one land with the feet behind the hips?
How do you land with your foot behind your hip though?
Azu Shi by running backwards. 😂

I understand it all. But how do you actually apply this when you run alone? You can't see yourself run.
How to know if your planting your foot behind your hips? and is there a way to adjust your running technique to make this happen

hi，as my English listening is not good enough to understand 100% of the video，could anyone list the key points here😭
Land on midfoot
Small, short step
Land feet behind hip
Light steps, low impacts, (less sound)
