Glad the ITB strap’s helped a bit! I have one that I used temporarily when I had my problems with that about a year ago, and it was great except for when I had it too tight for one run and wound up making it chafe/dig into my leg. As far as the ITB, though, it really felt good as I was getting back out there to run.

I’ve been taking Gluco/Chondroition 1500mg/1200mg for probably 10 years. Haven’t had nearly the “hello-I’m-here” nagging joint issues that I used to.

Oh, and I think you just like to say “Fart”.

I’ve been taking a liquid glucosamine supplement for a few months now and have noticed a huge improvement with my creaky joints. It also helped my friend recover from knee pain (due to ITBS). Hope it brings good things for you, too! =)

I love the fartleks. To me, they bring back the joy of being a little kid and just running as fast as you can, then relaxing when it gets tough. They’re a great way to get some speedwork in without it seeming like a chore. So, I say, stick with them as long as you can before you have to start the serious stuff.

I bought a big bottle of Glucosamine a few days ago too. My dad recommended it to me. I related to your “Why am I changing everything because of this one injury?” — I find myself asking the same question very often too. I went from almost never stretching to having this whole almost-hour long daily routine.

You must have a pretty mean coach is she dictates what you “must” do in marathon training. Glad there was no wardrobe malfunction with the strap.

Plenty of runners down here swear by Glucosomine – can’t do any harm if you can handle the (mild) side effects.
