In the build up to Leeds half next weekend I pushed too hard on a long run on easter weekend (19.5km in a good time for me) and I seem to have caused a flare up in ITB issues.
I've been resting from running (still commuting by bike and occasional low intensity ride) since then. I tried our last long-ish run this morning (75 minutes) and got to around 37 minutes before my knee was sore enough that I thought it was wise to stop. I probably could have struggled around but I imagine it'd have been unwise.
What should be my plan? I'm stretching whenever I'm warm from exercise, and intend on foam rolling my legs (not specifically my itb).
Sorry to hear. Had you replaced your trainers? Downhill isn't fun with ITB trouble, correct. I can meet up & show you some specific stretches that may help a bit if you like?
