Grete Waitz was the WOMAN who has won more NYC Marathons than any other runner. She won a whopping nine times!!! No wonder they named a race after her!

Bill Rogers won the race 4 consecutive times, but is not on the leader board.

The winner with the correct answer who wins my favorite headband is Michelle of Learn, Run, Eat… Repeat. Michelle, please send me an email with your mailing address so I can get you your headband!!

Thanks for playing!! Tune in next week for another edition of Tuesday Trivia.

I ended up doing 45 minutes on the elliptical, ran 1 mile on the treadmill and completed mini workout #1 back in my room. I love mini workouts! I’ll post the details soon.

ITB injuries are super common in runners.  It functions to provide lateral support for the leg and keeps the pelvis from tipping to the side when only one foot is in contact with the ground.  Sharp burning knee or hip pain can be a sign of an ITB injury.

Here are a few ways you can help prevent getting an ITB injury:

• Get fitted for proper running shoes.  Excessive pronators are more susceptible to IT injuries.
• Make sure your position on your bike is set up properly and that your cleats are positioned correctly on your bike shoes based on your foot tilt.
• Be aware of running in the same direction especially if you run in a circular motion such as a track.
• Self massage with a foam roller or The Stick will help release tightness.

Have a fabulous workout and don’t forget to stretch!
