I recently moved to a coastal area and decided to try a run at the beach. The sand was wet and compacted, and I found I could cruise along pretty good. I was wearing my normal shoes. After about half an hour the outside of my knee started to ache, so I stopped to walk. As I slowly walked back to the car the pain seemed to increase.
I never had pain in this location, but I've read about IT band problems before and I'm assuming this is that. Anybody else find that beach running causes IT problems?
