With every other part of the body it feels like a massage/a little bit of pain but the IT band is unbearable for me!!!!<br /><br />I got back on the a bike this past summer when I interned/lived down on HIton Head Island. I wrote a post on getting back to the bike here: http://www.h3daily.com/fitness/back-to-the-bike/<br /><br />It was so scary at first but it got a lot easier with practice and I started to really love it. It helps if you have a great place to bike i.e. the beach. It looks like you are already a pro biker though! <br /><br />You are so smart taking it easy. It's weird how your injury is coming along now after so many years of injury-less running. What was this marching band story? I'm curious now :)Allie (Live Laugh Eat)http://livelaugheat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308513195144234727.post-39704226796621896072009-09-30T07:53:44.054-05:002009-09-30T07:53:44.054-05:00Great job getting on the bike and getting in the ...Great job getting on the bike and getting in the exercise you're missing from running. You'll be back out on your feet soon I'm sure!<br /><br />That is an awesome pace for your first couple of rides! That's about exactly where I started. On a nice road bike with more experience you will go faster but for now that is perfect. Just go by your perceived effort and make sure you are working hard. Hills are great! I would stick to these 45-60 minute rides and build up to 90 minutes. It's hard to compare biking and running but some people say there's some ratio- like 3 miles biked = 1 mile run.. who knows. For now just focus on learning your bike handling skills and getting some exercise and it will all come together. Keep up the great work! :)jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598678568089992654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308513195144234727.post-22312554890108538162009-09-29T21:58:07.411-05:002009-09-29T21:58:07.411-05:00I wish I had some good bike advice, but I'm a ...I wish I had some good bike advice, but I'm a terrible biker.

I tried it, but it ended up being more of a leisurely stroll! I felt so sad seeing the runners too. Ugh. Especially when I was in DC.

As for your ITB troubles...maybe you can get someone at the hospital you work at to give you a quite exam...maybe you can curbside one of the ortho docs if/when they come rounding on patients...or find out there they hang out and just ask one of the nicer ones to ask for their opinion/medical advice...worth a shot!

I've had this happen to me before, which has *totally* thrown off my running. I'd recommend getting to a massage therapist or acupuncturist (or both!) and have them really go to town on your IT band, and I suspect you'll see a vast improvement in your shin and knee. and then you won't have to deal with the bike :)<br /><br />By the way, I love your blog. My Boston qual time is within 45 seconds of yours, so maybe I'll see you in the same corral at the starting line!Jaynehttp://www.twitter.com/jaynieknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308513195144234727.post-57594501724816318292009-09-29T17:30:41.111-05:002009-09-29T17:30:41.111-05:00I ride a bike, but only to run errands around town...I ride a bike, but only to run errands around town or over to a friends apartment. I have a dorky basket and everything. I'm not much help on that front.<br />I love love love the foam roller. Mine didn't come with a dvd though so I'm jealous of you!

Chris and the other crazy people in the group usually ride at 17+ mph and get up to 40+ on the hills. I myself can't do that and try to maintain 14 or 15 while gasping for air. Usually I try to get at least 35 miles in for a good one, I'm working up to 60. It seems like you have to do a lot more biking to compare to running. I've noticed that my thighs are a lot stronger when I do strength training and I feel aerobically stronger when I do a gym class, so I think it is good :)<br />Keep at it girl, you are doing your body a favor right now to help it get better. The guy that owns the local bike shop we go to started biking because he had knee problems, and he's never had knee problems since and he's in his 60s. Hope it gets better :)eatingRDhttp://www.eatingrd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308513195144234727.post-60155715289170572862009-09-29T14:54:58.274-05:002009-09-29T14:54:58.274-05:00You can do intervals on a bike, like 2 minutes har...You can do intervals on a bike, like 2 minutes hard, 2 easy, etc. I used to do that.
