Every running community needs some advice on ITB issues. What's yours? (Since I need some with the Gold Coast Marathon in 3 weeks)

Yeah I'm trying the massage gun and lowering milage. I haven't run for 3 days. But I've done a bit of "aqua running". How long did it take after lowering your milage to be back to normal? It feels much better just walking around after the 3 days of no running. I can barely tell it's an issue. But worried what will happen if I try running again. My last proper long run before the marathon is meant to be Sunday. And what type of stretches did you do?

Never tried aqua running. It took about a week for my leg to feel better but at the time I was mostly playing soccer and not running as much. A friend shared this video with me and I found that the exercises really helped. Your mileage might vary however ;)

Foam rolling and massage gun helped for me. However, my IT band never really recovered until I lowered my mileage and focused on stretching
