Due to the IT Band issues that violently emerged during the 20-mile run, I decided to make an appointment with the trainer. Running the Marathon with Tufts has been such an incredible experience - the support that is provided to me is so helpful! In addition to a coach, water and breakfast during/after all training runs, I can use the Tufts Athletic Training room and trainers. Woo.
I had an appointment with Kim, a trainer who has run the Boston Marathon with the Tufts team twice before. I went in to see her, and she confirmed that it was my IT Band that is bothering me. She "prescribed" a week off from running, a regimen of 3x daily 600mg ibuprofen, and lots of foam rolling. Lovely.

Oh god, foam rolling's a bitch. Hope your IT band calms down and the week off helps!
