As I mentioned before, I'm running a contest 3 days in a row to give away prizes to those who answer my questions. If you're a PUBLIC follower of my blog, you have first crack at it (psst--you can still sign up now). Everyone else is encouraged to answer in case the first guys don't get it right. You have until 9 PM tonight. I will announce the winner by first name and send him/her the card this week. My only request is that the personal trainers sit this one out! You'll have a chance tomorrow and Wednesday.
Okay, here's the question:
Many of us, especially runners, blame soreness in our legs on tight IT bands. While the IT band may actually be tight, it is non-contractile tissue and so there is another muscle that is likely pulling on the IT band, causing it to feel tight and pull on the knee area and lower leg. What is this other muscle?
