I learned this morning that I have a tight Iliotibial Band.
I have had pain on the outside of my right knee for a a couple weeks, with the feeling that my knee might buckel. Since my race and post race run, on Apr 19 and 22 respectively, I've had pain in the knee that spread to my hip. As a result, I have been cycling to maintain some type of fitness level.
There are many ways to treat this. Stretching and strength exercises are required. Below is a link to one stretch that does not require a foam roller.

Dont take this type of injury lightly. Take a rest, cross train, and get back at it! Prevention is the best medicine.
Have a Great Week,
Brad
