Knee Brace

Can anyone recommend a knee brace to reduce knee pain while running?

I find when I run the outside of my left knee starts to hurt about the mile/mile-and-a-half point. According to my google medical degree (;)) it's likely an IT band issue. I have proper running shoes (fitted with inserts) and I have a foam roller. Admittedly, I don't use the foam roller as often as I probably should, so shame on me. I also have relatively strong leg muscles, thanks to Cathe. Even though I enjoy running, I tend to avoid it because of the knee pain. However, i'm considering a career change that would require me to run 2-3 miles several times a week. I would also like to run a few more races (5K, mud run, etc.). I have the cardio capacity (most days) to handle the run if I can just figure out how to minimize the knee pain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Katie
