Week 1 of marathon training and BBG has officially come and gone! *See below for the week's schedue* I was supposed to do 4 runs and 2 BBG. I completed both BBG workouts and 3/4 runs. I did not do the 8 miler that was scheduled for Saturday because my IT band is still hurting. I had to force myself through a 4 mile run on Friday. Pretty much limped after. Figured, if it was that painful to get through 4 'easy' miles, doing 8 at a much faster pace would be painful or cause injury.
I've been incorporating glut bridges and "clammies" to strengthen the area and prevent more IT pain but I haven't seen the fruits from that labor yet. After some research, I found out that my foam roller isn't the best kind to help with IT pain. So, I ordered a new, tougher roller and rolled quite a bit last night. In some pain today, hoping it's just because the foam roller is doing its job. If I can't get this pain under control, I'm going to have to put a pause on my running. I don't want to chance hurting myself like I did earlier this year with the stress fracture. Anyway, I forgot how much I LOVE BBG. I was SO, SO sore after legs. But it was totally worth it. I love the program and can't wait to see the results I get this round. That's all for now! Stay fit my friends... XOXO, Wilk
