HYDE PARK, Sunday—I picked up a friend who was spending the day with me in New York City yesterday morning and returned to the country in the afternoon. Then I went to keep two appointments.
The first was to talk about a meeting of the United Parents Association in the autumn, and the second was with a committee from the Society of Podiatricians.
They have a bill in Congress which will give them recognition in the Army and Navy on the same basis as dentists and other specialized groups who do not have M.D. degrees. It seems to me they will certainly be useful in the services. Soldiers on the march and sailors standing watch on board ship, both need this care for their general health and happiness.
In the afternoon I went out to the World's Fair, feeling very sorry that the weather had been so bad all morning, for I knew it would spoil the day for the rural young people who had planned a big meeting in the Court of Peace.
First, I visited the Brazilian Pavilion and drank some delicious coffee with the Commissioner and his wife. We looked at the murals, which are extremely interesting and depict different phases of life in various parts of Brazil. These murals should, of course be viewed from a greater distance than their present location permits but they are colorful and bold in execution.
The rural meeting had been moved to the Assembly Hall at the Fair, where Mr. Harvey Gibson, Dr. J. A. Linke of the United States Office of Education, Dr. M. L. Wilson, Director of the Extension Service in the Department of Agriculture, were all assembled. On account of the weather, the ceremonies were brief, and many young people must have been disappointed.
From there I went to the Finnish Pavilion to unveil the poster which the American Committee for Aid to Finland is putting out in a campaign to gain members to help in their work.
Under the direction of a well-known Finnish architect, a group of students at MIT are planning reconstruction work and the building from the ground up of a city in Finland. It is an interesting undertaking and the models which they show of the new villages they are planning, are certainly an improvement over what was destroyed. It must, however be hard to rehouse so many people who have lost their homes.
My last visit at the Fair was to the model of Quoddy Dam built by the NYA. Then we drove home, arriving after 7:00 o'clock.

Road Trip: Vitamix Factory Outlet Store
Vitamix – the blender of the pros. When I visit a smoothie shop, they have a line of Viatamix blenders, each with a noise reducing cover. My health food store uses them to make shots of wheatgrass juice. If you know a Raw Food fanatic, someone who believes cooking food kills nutrients, I'll bet they have a Vitamix on a pedestal in their kitchen.
I'm a gadget hound. I always want bigger and better. This is a bad thing in the kitchen, because good enough is usually good enough. But I keep looking for an excuse to trade up.
My blender was the exception. I use a blender exclusively for frozen margaritas. Everything else goes in the food processor, or I use a stick blender. My wife and kids, however, are smoothie fiends. They make them every chance they get, and twice on weekends. My wife hinted to me that she wouldn't mind a better blender…especially since she was taking classes with someone who worked for Vitamix.
That's how I found out the Vitamix factory is just up the road from me in North Olmstead, Ohio. And they have a factory outlet store in a nearby strip mall Solon, OH. Road trip!
[Update 8/29/2014 – The North Olmsted Vitamix store is closed, and the new Vitamix Culinary Exploration Center is open in Solon, OH, in a much nicer space. So, a lot of what I said about the store itself is out of date. Not about the deals though – they're still available, though the prices may vary over time.]

The outlet store is…well, let's be kind, and call it minimalist. Boxes of blenders are lined up against the wall. A small stage is in the middle of the store, with a few blenders out so the salespeople can show them. On the weekends they have demos on the stage; local chefs come in to show what you can do with a Vitamix. If you go there during the week, you don't get a show. What you get is a good deal on a monster of a blender.
I bought a refurbished Vitamix 5200 with their shorter, 48 ounce container, for $329 (plus tax), which goes for $450+ new. The same blender with the tall container was roughly $380, and the pro model, with built in sound damping, was a little more than that.
*I'm not sure why Vitamix calls it a "Pro" model – all their blenders are built for professional use.
Now, is the Vitamix worth $300+ dollars? It is the best blender I've ever owned, by far. It churns its way through everything I've thrown at it. I'm glad I got it, but it sure is expensive for a blender.
But it doesn't matter what I think. My wife and kids love "their" Vitamix. Every weekend they pore over the cookbook and add things to my grocery list. We've had mixed berry smoothies, apple smoothies, orange and banana smoothies, and mango smoothies. We've had peanut butter cup milkshakes and strawberry milkshakes. We've had margaritas made by throwing whole limes in the blender. (Which are good, but not as good as Mexican Martinis.)
Diane even made soup, using the blender's ability to heat ingredients. The Vitamix is so powerful that if you leave it running for five minutes, it will heat the ingredients to a it heats the contents. Now, don't trust this to pasteurize anything; it warms the soup, but doesn't cook it. (And I have to say, the spinach and potato soup was excellent.)
If you want the best blender available, don't want to pay full price, and live in Northeastern Ohio, stop by the Vitamix factory store.

I have a Vitamix "Aspire" blender which is the same as the 5200 and just love it. Mine came with a cook book "Recipes To Inspire" and if you haven't got that one, I highly recommend it. You can also go to Vitamix web-site and find a lot of recipes for the 5200. It is loud I agree but who cares with the results you get with it!
VitaMix is well worth the money. Two important things you forgot to mention. VitaMix is headquartered right here in NE Ohio in Olmsted Falls. Their machines are made of mostly US parts, many of which are made in Cleveland, which is also where final assembly happens.
They also have an amazing FULL 7 year warranty. What kind of small appliance, or any product for that matter, still offers a 7 year warranty? When I bought mine, they told me they only have 3 people in their warranty repair department because that's how infrequently they need to be repaired. It's an amazing & powerful machine!
Thanks for the recipe tips!
Would you say the factory store has better deals then the online specials?
The prices are about the same, for the one model they sell in the online specials. If you want the one they're selling online, there's no need to make a trip to the store.
The factory store's advantage is they sell some other models. There were three or four different models available, with accessories, on sale at the factory store. If you want choices, visit the factory outlet store.
Good luck!
I'm glad you're enjoying your new purchase but I have to respectfully correct you–the Vitamix DOES cook (I'll add that the process is shortened if you start with boiling-hot liquids). Throw in the ingredients for gravy or sauce and let 'er rip. I had friends visiting whose jaws scraped the floor when they saw scalding HOT, perfectly smooth cashew gravy result from a blender's running (in the other room, I hasten to add) for 4 minutes. I once used a candy thermometer to determine my tortilla soup's temperature: 108º F, just below the boiling point of water. You can actually take ice to just below boiling in the Vitamix but it'll take some time. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your Vitamix cooking tips!
The North Olmsted store is still open. There are now 2 outlet stores.
Thank you!
Thanks for the article Mike! I work for Vitamix so I would like to let you know the Vitamix Store in North Olmsted has closed. We have reopened our store in Solon, OH. We encourage everyone to come see our brand new Culinary Exploration Center! The address is 6134 Kruse Drive Solon, Ohio 44139. We sell Vitamix Certified Reconditioned machines, offer demonstrations, and hold Vitamix technique classes. Call (440) 782-2002 for further information!
Thank you for the update!

Stop Ulrich
Dear Editor:
After the recent federal court decision that (finally) reiterated what thousands of New Yorkers have been saying for years, that Stop and Frisk violates the constitution and is quite literally an institutionalized form of racial profiling, I could only appreciate the announcement briefly before my face and my palm had to come together yet again. The source of my frustration and embarrassment was once again my councilman, Eric Ulrich.
Now let me just say that I rarely give two thoughts to electoral politics or politicians but I can't help but feel somewhat responsible when my local bowtiewearing representative is whining and banging his fist on desks (and of course, in front of a camera) in an effort to convince us that mild reforms of racialized policing means that New York will instantly transform into New Jack City. Not that any of this is backed up by any forms of objective or convincing evidence.
No, for those like my councilman, and our billionaire Mayor, following the constitution can only lead to apocalyptic consequences. Perhaps waves of unruly black and latino youth are licking their chops for the moment that the Community Safety Act goes into effect next year, too. Of course that means we'll all come crawling back to the councilman, Bloomberg and Ray Kelly begging for them to save us. Stop and Frisk? Why stop there? Let's just go the gestapo route and have perfect safety!
Well, I guess it's too late. Those crazy, radical ideologues (a federal judge, the majority of the City council and the majority of New Yorkers who declined to entertain the false choice of security vs. freedom) have won a major victory and now it's time to turn up the fear mongering and spin machines on full power.
It was, for example, predictable that supporters of Stop and Frisk would frame the City Council's vote (and override of the Mayor's veto) on the Community Safety Act as "election year politicking." Well, yea. That's kind of how our form of democracy works, guys. The majority of the City council was responsive to the majority of New Yorker's concerns about Stop and Frisk. I guess they don't want to be punished at the ballot box for being on the wrong side of history.
But the fun thing about history is that you can also spin it, especially to those that aren't at its mercy. This is why the councilman perhaps feels like he has the ability to be such a vocal and visible Stop and Frisk cheerleader: his staff probably correctly advises him that he has nothing to lose (and everything to gain) in his district. His constituents aren't having their rights violated nearly as much as in other areas of the city. And of course it doesn't hurt when the billionaire Mayor starts stopping by his fundraisers right before the Council vote and right before the councilman began to turn up volume on his doomsday predictions. It really is good "election year politicking" for my councilman since he can't run on a platform of say, being seen in the disaster recovery efforts post-Sandy. But hey, he'll keep us safe from the scary black man if not the natural disasters that destroy our homes, I guess.
The great irony of Eric Ulrich is that for such a young, baby-faced politician, his position on Stop and Frisk is something that we will see go the way of the dinosaur. New Yorkers have spoken. The courts have spoken. All that we have left is a defeated billionaire Mayor limping out of office (though exponentially richer) and a whiny councilman kicking and screaming as the world passes him by.

|Solaiman, Daniel - Dan
Submitted to: Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/5/2007
Publication Date: 5/1/2007
Citation: Zerkowski, J.A., Solaiman, D. 2007. Polyhydroxy Fatty Acids Derived from Sophorolipids. Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society. 84(5):463-471. Interpretive Summary: Fatty acids that contain reactive oxygen groups are used in large quantities to prepare polymers, lubricants, and other materials. Unfortunately, these starting materials are primarily obtained from toxic plants. Furthermore, only a small number of variants are produced by these plants, limiting the applications where the resultant polymers can be used. We are addressing this problem by using fermentation by yeasts to convert inexpensive biorenewable agricultural coproducts such as soy molasses and tallow into sophorolipids (a type of biological surfactant). Sophorolipids contain oxygenated fatty acids that are easily purified, obviating the need to process materials from toxic plants. To enhance their utility, we now have modified them using well-established methods of organic chemistry. Specifically, we have added between one and four extra oxygen groups into the fatty acid molecule in a variety of locations and orientations. The added oxygens can be introduced in a "masked" fashion, that is, they remain unreactive until needed, when they can be selectively activated for use with specific and mild conditions. These reactive oxygens will allow the modified fatty acid to find application in a wider range of technological situations, from building blocks for polymers or detergents to coatings, lubricants, or slow-release polymers for drug delivery.
Technical Abstract: Starting from 17-hydroxyoleic acid, which is readily available from acid alcoholysis of sophorolipids, several new polyhydroxy fatty acids have been synthesized. These compounds contain from 2 to 5 hydroxy groups, in some instances combined with other functional groups. The added hydroxy groups can be incorporated in the C18 chain in a variety of geometries, for example spaced widely throughout the chain at C1, C8, and C17. This regiochemical control will be of use in structure/function studies involving materials constructed from these hydroxy fatty acids. A further benefit is that the hydroxy groups can be present in protected or free states. The principal reactions used to introduce extra hydroxy groups are selenium oxide-mediated allylic hydroxylation, osmium-catalyzed dihydroxylation, and borohydride reduction of a carboxylic ester. These new compounds are expected to be of use in a number of areas, but particularly as building blocks for polymers or components of lubricant formulations.

STRICTLY TEACHER PAY Martin Hiis Depression 'Eggheads' PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23 J»! — House Speaker Joseph W. Martin Jr. charged tonight that left-wing "eggheads" are "trying to promote us into hard time for political reasons." Their aim, he declared, is "to lead us into Socialism." Ill a .speech prepared for the Philadelphia Real E.state Board, the Massachusetts Republican said that despite pessimistic statements of alarmists, "there i.s not a valid economic sign today . . . pointing to anything like the unemployment of 1949-50, w'hen these people were so silent." Period of Readjustment Martin said the nation i.s now going thrtiugh a period of readjustment and today's unemployment figure of 2,000,000 "may vary upward in the next few months." "Despite this period of transition." he added, "the year 1953 just finished was the most prosperous in the history of our country, and the fact is, there are 62 million American civilians at work today at gainful occupations." Martin's speech was billed in advance by his office as a major address, with a nationwide broadcast arranged over facilities of the American Broadcasting Co.

Jan. 23 i.t*—Gov. Allan Shivers set his sights today on mid-March as the time for a special legislative session on the $402 teacher pay rai.se propo.sal. He urged that permanent financing of the salary increase be accomplished at that time.

The compromise—worked out by a 25-member group representing Shivers and the TST.A—calls for a $402 Increase in the teachers' minimum pav scale and adopts a new approach to financing. Instead of pa.ving a fixed 45 million dollars a year to support the minimum foundation program of education, local school districts wuld pay 20 per cent. This would leave 80 per cent of the burden on the state. Reciprocally, the state would assume roughly 20 per cent of the cost of school construction, something it has not done in the past. The state's contribution in thi.s field would be made indirectly by giving school di.stricts a credit of S100 ner teacher against what the district is supposed to put in the minimum foundation program. "I will be hopeful that the Legi.s-lature adopts that (program l," Shivers said. "Then we can all work together to build the Texas public school system into the finest public school system in the nation.* Cost of a $402 boost would be approximately 23*2 million dollars. If the Supreme Court upholds the gas pipeline tax. more than that amount would be freed for immediate use, but the tax rate would not be sufficient to meet the continuing and rising cost of later years. 'Whatever the tax source relied upon by the Legislature, Shiver.s thought the long-range problem should be met now, not at a later session. "If we are going to authorize that expense. I think we ought to raise the rate this session. The sound thing to do would-be to finance the increase permanently," he declared. The possibility of Increasing omnibus tax rates, as was done four years ago to finance a state hospital building program, is being studied. Shivers* said in reply to a question.

No Statement f The department, it was said, had i intended that no statements concerning anv actions against re-, turned prisoners should be madej until the cases of 21 Americans still sticking in a pro-Red camp in Korea had been cleared up. Those 21 soldiers, w ho wanted to stay with their Communists captors, are at Panmunjom. where they had been brought w?ith other prisoners for disposition under the truce agreement. But the Communists .so far have refused to accept them back. .American psychological warfare experts wante<l to encourage all of the remaini^ 21 Americans to leave communism voluntarily and return.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Four members of the UAB men's soccer team were named to the 2014 Preseason All-Conference USA Team and junior forward Freddy Ruiz was named the 2014 Preseason C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, the league announced on Wednesday. UAB led the nine-team conference with four selections on the preseason all-conference team.
Ruiz was joined on the Preseason All-Conference USA Team by redshirt senior midfielder Alex Clay, senior defender Darion Copeland, and senior forward Diego Navarrete. All four players earned All-Conference USA accolades following the 2013 season.
The UAB men's soccer team was selected to finish in third place in the 2014 Preseason Conference USA Poll. UAB was one of three teams to earn a first-place vote.
New Mexico was named the preseason favorite in the vote by the league coaches. 2013 Conference USA Tournament champions Charlotte was selected to finish in second. Old Dominion and South Carolina round out the top five, respectively.
Ruiz, a First-Team All-C-USA selection in 2013, led the team in scoring last season, accumulating 26 points on 11 goals and four assists. The Fort Payne, Ala. native ranked second in Conference USA in game-winning goals scored (4), goals scored (11), goals per game (0.61), and points per game (1.44). He was one of four Blazers to earn 2013 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men's All-Midwest Region honors, as well.
Clay earned the inaugural Conference USA Golden Boot Award in 2013 after scoring a league-high seven goals in conference play. The Huntsville, Ala. native was second on the team in scoring, tallying 22 points on eight goals and six assists. Clay joined Ruiz on the 2013 All-Midwest Region Team and was named the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week following a five-point week against Belmont and Kentucky last season.
For the second straight season, Copeland was tabbed to the preseason all-conference team. The Stockbridge, Ga. native has started all but one contest in the UAB backline since arriving on campus in 2011. Copeland has received his fair share of accolades heading into his final season in Birmingham, a three-time All-Conference USA honoree and two-time All-Midwest Region Team member.
Navarrete completes the UAB quartet to garner preseason accolades from Conference USA. The Santiago, Chile native was third on the team in scoring last season, scoring 19 points on six goals and seven assists. Navarrete matched the program record with four assists against Florida Atlantic on Oct. 6, 2013. The senior forward won the first Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week last year after a seven-point effort at the VCU Nike Classic.
The UAB men's soccer team opens the 2014 season against Memphis on Friday, Aug. 29. The match is scheduled to kickoff at 7:00 p.m. at West Campus Field.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi all, I got back into running about 4 months ago to train for a 10k race I completed in early October. Following that, I started running with a club and have been going on some pretty long runs with them twice a week, as well as the 5k Parkrun on Saturdays.
Last Tuesday I went on a long run with the club and pushed myself too hard, especially running downhill too fast. We were doing efforts and probably ran around 13k in total. Towards the end of the session I noticed a pain coming from the side of my right knee. I continued to the end (about another 2/3k) and stretched out afterward but the following day the pain was back with avengence!!
I took 3 days off, icing and resting the knee and it felt better by Saturday. I decided to go to my local Parkrun but unfortunately had to drop out after about 3k as the pain in the side of the knee returned. After lots of research online I'm pretty sure it ticks all the boxes for IT band syndrome. The pain always comes from the side of the knee, and is especially prominent when going down stairs or bending the knee.
I've designed some stretching and strengthening exercises (i.e. squats) to try and help and bought a foam roller to help relieve strain in the IT band. I also think it's time I purchased some new shoes as the Nike Airmax I am using at the moment are so old I can't even remember getting them... I use gel insoles in my shoes too, but these are just something cheap I found on eBay and probably don't compensate for how bad the shoes are.
I suppose I am looking for advice from other members here based on my experience.
Fortunately I work for the NHS so I believe I get access to a free staff physio, so I will attempt to organise an appointment with them soon. Any help would be much appreciated, I'm so disappointed I have had to stop running just as I was getting back into the sport and improving my fitness.
Yep. Had it, hurt like a mother!
New shoes, foam roller and stretching. I ended up probably having 3-4 weeks off. The worst thing with ITB (I found) is that all the synptoms would clear when you were walking (no more pain going down stairs or when leg came up in normal stridint) but then as soon as you would run for 5-10 mins it was back and back to square one.
Worst thing in the world is to be patient.. but you have to do it!!
best stretch I have found for ITB is to lay on your side knees together and slightly bent. flex top leg so foot is up to bum (hold with hand) then put the lower leg on the top knee and pull down.
good luck!
Hi Dibs, thanks for the advice. I will add that stretch to my routine and try it out. I'm aiming to do my stretching routine twice a day - does that sound about right?
You're right - the pain had almost completely faded after my initial 3 day rest period between Tues evening - Sat morning; but when I started running again it kicked in after about 5-10mins! I suppose the annoying thing is not being able to know if it has truly healed before setting out again!
As soon as the roller arrives I will start using that twice a day during my stretching routine too. It's a frustrating prospect having to do much shorter runs of less than 5k to get back into it when you know you are able to consistently run more than 10k!
Hey Steven,
I only stretch when I am warm (dynamic stretches or maybe cycling if you can manage). Foam rolling I would take it easy to... I nearly cried when I used it on my ITB/glutes for the first time. 5 mins max and I was off!!
take is slow and steady and also drink plenty of water post foam rolling. I get a headache if I don't.
Defo look at getting new shoes or look at your run form. I used to be a heal striker and that didn't help! took me a month and a bit to convert and have never looked back! (times went from 1:05 10k to now 48 mins
Can't be bothered to re-post, so check out this thread (only a short one) on ITBS.
Hi Roger, thanks for the post.
12 days since I started feeling the knee pain now and it is still very painful. I bought an 'all day' knee support from Boots the other day which I have been wearing for long periods - not sure if it is really helping at all yet. I feel like applying more pressure to the knee area may actually be causing me more pain...
I also purchased some deep heat which I have been using infrequently - not sure if this is a good idea if I do truly have ITB problems?
The epicentre of pain is still very much located around the outside of the knee cap, however I have also started feeling pain around the front of the knee and other areas around the outside. The only way I can describe it is a 'twisted' feeling, and it does feel more painful when I am actually twisting or turning, and walking up and down inclines of any sort (even very small curbs etc.).
I have a physio appointment on Friday and I am hoping they will be able to determine whether it is actually an ITB problem or something else. In the meantime I am going to lay off the stretching and foam rolling as I have been doing it for over a week and am seeing no results whatsoever.
If it is ITBS I'm afraid deep heat and knee support are unlikley to do any good, as it is friction between the bone and tendon on the outside of the knee that causes the pain and if not resolved may manifest as other types of pain in and around the knee.
If it is ITBS your physio should be able to tell what is causing it as there can be several root causes. If I were you I would do some reading up before going on Friday so that you will have some base understanding of what the issue and treatment may involve. Forewarned is forearmed and all that.

I will ask this again though, where on your leg are you rolling?
Like on the other thread, I'm afraid rolling the side of your leg for IT band issues will do sweet FA. The IT band is tough and relativley inflexible so rolling the band directly will not release ANY tension, it is the muscle groups connected to the band which need rolling if you are to get any relief, ie TFL, glute med and glute max. The most common culprit is the TFL located on the front of your leg/ hip above the quad, a tennis ball works better than a roller on this little sucker.
Roger the dodger wrote (see)
Thought that might be the case, most do.
What you're doing there is foam rolling the ITB itself, unfortunatley as the ITB is made of fairly inelastic matreial, rolling it directly will not release any tension (tension that is probably causing your pain/ discomfort).
What you need to concentrate on is the muscles connected to the ITB. If you are getting pain on the outside of your knee then chances are you have a bit of muscular imbalance between your gluteus medius and tensor fascia latae (TFL).
Short term fix would be massage the TFL in order to release the tension in your ITB, can use a foam roller but due to the location of the TFL a tennis ball might work better:
This will most likley get you through the race.
A longer term fix would be some strengthening exercises for your glute med to address any imbalance.
I had IT band syndrome as well and foam-rolling worked really well for me. It was gone in 3 weeks, I was also given some strengthening exercises for my gluts and medial hamstrings.
this blog explains how to do it, last post: http://victoriaparkfitness.com/blog/
Hi Lucila, it has been over 5 weeks since i injured my knee now and i can still feel it. i am reluctant to start training again just yet in case it comes back. i have been seeing a physio at work who massaged my IT band this week which i think really helped - it felt a lot better afterwards.
the article on foam rolling in your link is good - especially the pictures of the different foam rolling techniques. it looks like the IT band and TFL rolling techniques are the same though?
i always find my arms start to ache after about 2 mins of rolling too as i'm using them to support some weight.
Steven - I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but ITB injuries can hang around a long time. I have been suffering with it for 9 months and I have heard of people with it for 18 months to 2 years. I haven't suffered with it too badly for the last couple of months but it has been slow progress. I started with about 5/6 weeks of doing no running but did go to the physio a few times who gave me plenty of exercises and stretches to do. When I started running again I did 1 mile on grass each day and after a couple of weeks of that I increases the run by 10%. After about 4 months of thinking I was OK I increased the mileage but much too quickly so it came back again. This time, however, I have taken it very slowly and didn't run over 5 miles in one go, I also kept away from speed work and hills. For the last 2 months or so things have been going OK and I'm now up to nearly 40 miles a week with a long run of 16 miles. My advice to you would be to do as much stretching, exercises, plyometrics, rolling etc as you can, take your running very slowly indeed and increase very gradually. While things are going OK for me at the moment I know it isn't back to normal yet and it does feel as though it can go at any minute. Good luck
I was going to comment on this but Roger has provided a very comprehensive answer!
Steven problems with you IT band should be considered indicative of a problem elsewhere. It cant really be stretched, it isnt a muscle, although i have found that rollering does help with adhesions.
the problem will be with the muscles attached to the IT band which will have gone tight, and are now pulling on it. causing your IT band to pull on your knee.
Hi carterusm, thanks for the reply. dont worry, i have read elsewhere that IT band problems are recurring and it is actually what stopped my dad from running when he was my age. i think the major point for everyone is that increasing mileage too quickly inevitably leads to injury, if it's not the IT band it will be something else in either the knee or leg.
i am going to leave it for another 2 weeks or so and then start with a 1k run around the block. i will also make sure i have my gait analysed and purchase some new running shoes. to be honest if you are now able to run 16 miles it is very reassuring for anyone with IT band problems to read this.
how long do you spend stretching before running? and do you do IT band stretches before and after running? i don't think i was giving myself enough time to stretch before i injured myself, and i would never warm up before stretcing either!! the problem i'm having now is figuring out how to warm up before stretching at home when i'm injured... i usually just do star jumps but that can actually cause pain in the knee!!
Steven - I had to admit that I have never done stretches before a run. After visiting the physio I kept up with the stretches for a couple of months but I have to admit that I haven't done any stretches in the last 3 months or so. I know I'm not doing myself any favors and really should start up with them again. Here are a couple of links to some stretches and exercises that might help you - http://www.knee-pain-explained.com/iliotibial-band-syndrome.html - http://strengthrunning.com/2011/02/the-itb-rehab-routine-video-demonstration/ - http://www.runningwritings.com/2012/02/injury-series-biomechanical-solutions.html
Noticed a slight pain and quiet grinding/popping sound coming from my knee every time i bent and contracted it last night. The strange part was it was only coming from my right knee (the injured one) and not the left. It wasn't too painful at first but when i continued doing it the actual popping began to hurt and bring back the original feeling of pain from the injury.
it basically feels like there is trapped air there, and if i bend it enough an air bubble will pop in the knee - this isn't too painful though. it definitely feels as though the IT band is rubbing over the knee cap and that is what's causing the pain, i could feel it so clearly last night that i could almost picture exactly what was happening in my head.
i will be buying some proper running shoes very soon and hoping to try and do a short 1k run either next week or the week after. until then i will continue doing some light stretching at home - i say light because i found that if i stretch too much it actually brings back the pain!! will let you all know how the run goes - definitely going to keep it to a flat surface too!!
Hi Steven,
It sounds like you've done some really good research into what could be going on and diagnosed the condition you have.
The one thing I would say is you need to go one step further and ask 'Why did I get this condition in the first place?' 'Why is my IT band rubbing abnormally against my knee and why is it tight.'
Muscles and bands and other tissues get tight for a reason. Often it's because they are having to stabalise another part of the body which is not doing it's job properly. Or because those structures are out of position which causes a tightening of surrounding tissues.
Only if you go after the root cause will you find a permanent solution.
Putting on straps, or changing sports, or altering your running pattern might help temporarily, but often, the pain returns even with your reduced activity either in the same location or somewhere else, as you haven't addressed the root cause.
So what could be going on with you? Well the IT band essentially runs from your pelvis and hip to your knee. So if either of these structures is out of alignment they will not function properly, and therefore the IT band will not function correctly either.
Carry out a few simple tests for yourself...
Stand in front of the mirror and see if your feet and also your knee caps point straight ahead or do they face in or outwards at an angle.
They should point straight ahead. Them being at an angle means the legs will not operate as they were designed to.
Also, stand up and close your eyes. Do you feel the weight evenly balanced on both feet and evenly on each foot? Or is one side more dominant and is the weight more on the inside or outside of the foot? Again, if it's not evenly balanced it's a sign of dysfunction.
You also need to get your hip joint assessed.
Good luck with everything and feel free to ask me any questions.

I'm currently suffering with a very similar occurrence of ITBS. Mine came on after a 10m trail race in October during which I was ascending & descending some fairly steep inclines, in fact I remember thinking "this can't be good for me" whilst my feet were literally "slapping" the hard stone paths on downhill sections.
Pain started about 30mins after the race, and if anything got worse in the subsequent days. Walking was almost out of the question, never mind running. After getting bored with the rate at which it seemed to be healing I contacted a local physio for help. I've since been strengthening my glutes, stretching my hamstrings and generally trying to improve my balance. My physio has also been performing a sports massage during each visit. At first it was still a struggle to run anywhere, therefore I kept myself sane by getting out on my bike which didn't seem to aggravate the injury too much.
The best advice my physio has given me is to not tolerate ANY pain. He likens ITBS to a smouldering fire, and until the dying embers are completely extinguished, it's very difficult to make progress, and very easy to (re)inflame the injury.
I'm happy to report that I've been out tonight for a quick run (no more than 2.5k) which included a couple of hill sprints, and also a little walking (although that was more to do with a stitch than anything!). I'm running nowhere near full pelt (I run a sub 40min 10k), however I'm targeting my local Xmas Day Parkrun and feel as though I'm on track.
So, ultimately I'd get to a physio....it was music to my ears to hear that I had a "classic" case of ITBS. Also crucially, don't overdo it. I was climbing the walls at first when I wasn't able to get outside, but the more you push it, the longer it will take to recover. Also forgot to mention that I was prescribed a course of anti-inflammatories by my GP which seemed to help, my physio also agreed with me taking them.
All the best in conquering your injury!
Thanks Ameet & Bobby for your responses, ITBS isn't an easy one to get rid of but with enough work I believe anyone can improve!
its been about 3 months since I injured myself now and I have seen the staff physio at work several times who has confirmed the injury is likely ITBS. I have set up a stretching & strengthening routine that I can do in the home and I have been doing that consistently (almost every day) for about a month. this involves just stretching all the different muscle groups in both legs and then a number of strengthening exercises to try and rectify any muscle imbalances which may exist.
I have signed up for a 5k in early march and have risked going for a few short runs recently. today I successfully completed a 3k which is the furthest I have run since when I first injured myself - glad to say it went pretty well (although my time was a lot slower than I used to run) and there doesn't seem to be too much pain coming from my right knee, just a sight bit of tightness around the top of the calf/behind the knee area.
I feel as though the strengthening exercises really help, and that my leg muscles are slowly getting stronger. I also bought a gel ice pack which I use after each run at the moment - these are great as they conform to whatever shape you need even when frozen, I would highly recommend! (mine cost about £7 from Boots). the reason for this was that I felt there was some very minor swelling developing behind the right knee each time I have been going for a run recently, therefore I have been icing to try and prevent that!
just thought I would give you guys an update, and I hope this info is useful to anyone else who may be suffering from ITBS. my main advice would be:
hope this helps, thanks guys!

(Corrects Earlier Version:Local funds would be spent to create domestic partnerships)
(CNSNews.com) -The U.S. House Tuesday voted overwhelmingly in favor of legislation that would allow the District of Columbia to spend its local funds to establish domestic partner benefits. The amendment, which conservatives criticized as an effort to recognize homosexual relationships, was attached to the fiscal year 2002 D.C. appropriations bill. The larger bill passed the House 327-88.
Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), who is openly homosexual and sponsored the domestic partnership amendment along with Rep. James Moran (D-Va.), said his legislation "would permit the D.C. government to use local funds to administer a domestic partnership program.
"This amendment will allow an employee of the District of Columbia government to purchase health insurance at their own expense for their domestic partners," Kolbe said in a statement.
Kolbe defined a domestic partnership as "as two people in a familial relationship characterized by mutual caring and may include a grandmother and a mother living together and jointly raising children, two widows or widowers living together and gay or lesbian couples."
Kolbe called the amendment "family friendly" and stated that it would [remove] a burden off of the many families who depend on a "grandmother or uncle to sustain them."
The bill passed after Rep. Dave Weldon (R-Fla.) attempted to keep the Kolbe amendment from reaching the House floor. The amendment would have prohibited the funding of "domestic partnerships" in the District of Columbia. It failed by a vote of 226 to 194.
Michael Schwartz, Vice-President of Government Relations for the group, Concerned Women for America, said the vote on the D.C. appropriations bill shows that the homosexual lobby has the Democratic Party by the throat. And it is making huge inroads in the Republican Party, when you consider that it also got one-fifth of the Republican vote."
"This effort to stroke the egos of a pampered few will end up damaging the lives of thousands of less-privileged D.C. residents," Schwartz added in a statement.
