Reader, I am new to running, as in running for exercise and one thing that keeps me running instead of collapsing in agony is this. Not a giant rolling pin to make the world biggest chicken pot pie, but a foam roller. A giant cylinder of dense styrofoam over which you roll yourself to stretch out the IT (Iliotibial) band like so. The IT band is a thick band of tissue that runs from your hip to your knee and by God that thing can hurt. Most physical therapy websites say something mild like, "You may experience some soreness." Honestly? The first time I did this, there were tears. Tears! But the foam roller is a life changer.
