Sinopsis
Welcome once again to the #RunPainFree podcast. Today, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio gives you the low down on your IT Band. If you thought it was just at the side of your quads and you could stretch it out, listen up, rascal – you've got a lot to learn! HERE'S WHERE YOUR IT BAND IS… Your IT band starts just below your knee. Place your hand beneath the back of your knee and grab it. Where your thumb rests is a tiny bone that protrudes out. That, my friend, is where your IT band inserts in your tibia. The IT Band goes from your knee up the outside of your quad and hamstring and then up to your hip before fanning out and covering 80% of each glute. It then crosses your lumbar, your T-spine, and attaches to your opposite shoulder. In sum, it covers the majority of your body. Why your IT band is super important as a runner. Your IT Band dictates your ability to move like a human being. As we keep hammering at #RunPainFree, running is an essential human function (aka walking) with velocity to the extreme.
