I've always just gone the simple route: 1. Eat less in general - my portion control was awful, so buying scales was a big jump forward; 2.

1) I've been through hell with my IT band, but it can get better. It's an annoying problem though and it never gets "cured". You'll need to manage it from this point on, but once you're past the pain period the management can become more routine - a large number of runners experience the problem so there's plenty of…
