Well I got past the patellar tendonitis and now we’re back to our old friend IT band pain.
What exercises/strategies/changes in running technique have you found helpful for this?
I stretch after I run. When I had IT band tightness and pain in my knees I added IT band stretches like in this image except I place my hand much higher on the wall. The pain went away after a few sessions. Note that more advanced stretches may not be the best idea if your IT bands are super tight, you can easily injure yourself. If I don’t run and stretch at least once every 2 weeks, the pain will return.

Ok, what’s up with images and links? Anyone else having issues posting or viewing?
I wrote a short tutorial on how to post images:
It worked when I used the ![] method
Ok thx will take a look and edit my post
I found rotating the drop of my shoes helped, but you can’t go from 10-0 in one day, I happen to have low and medium drop and alternate based on distance and day.
I feel your pain. I wish I had something constructive to add. See me previous post on my ITB issue for some suggestions from others.
Unless is achilies or pf, but it is always one of those three
