IT Bands

This pain manifests in the outer side of the knee near the knobby part of the knee. This is caused by muscle rubbing on that part of the bone and is usually caused by weakness or inflexibility in the hips.

We tend to see this in first time marathoners when they reach about 15 miles in their training. Often this afflicts women more than men due to the wider hips that women have, causing more of an angle from the hip to the knee. Side leg lifts will help strengthen the hip, which will make the area stronger and move around less. Also standing on one foot, keeping the hip from dropping, is a good exercise. Ice is a good bet for taking care of the pain in the knee.
