In this episode, Alison discusses IT band issues in runners, emphasizing that these problems are often caused by strength and stability imbalances rather than tightness in the IT band itself. She explains that foam rolling and stretching, while helpful in the short term, do not provide long-term relief. The key to addressing IT band issues is learning to load through the glutes and achieving proper internal rotation and alignment during running. Alison also introduces her "Glute Accelerator" course, which teaches runners how to strengthen and better utilize their glutes, integrate the kinetic chain, and improve overall running mechanics.
