I’m an experienced gym-goer, and someone who is comfortable with exercise machines and free weights, but I’ve always found resistance bands confusing. All those sizes and types: how do you know which to use when and whether you’re doing it correctly?
As a runner I like to keep things simple and time-efficient, so I’ve never made the effort to understand the benefits of the best resistance bands. Yet, when my marathon training was halted by iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), also known as runner’s knee, I realised I had to take mobility more seriously.
