I had bad ITB pain last year
Lots of single leg strength work focussed on calves, hammies and back.
So deadlifts
Squats (side, pistol, romanian)
Calf raises
NordicsStretching of hamstrings and hips
Proper warm ups (yeah right)Lots of core work - deadbugs for days

I did exactly the same. I had ITB issues on my right leg caused by a weak/inactive glute that caused instability when tired. So did a couple of months of strength and stability every other day whilst running regularly still but not hard and it solved the problem. Now just do band work 2x a week to maintain and I've had zero niggles for over a year and I've just finished the pretty tough elite 10k plan injury free.

10 days off running now and still some strange numbness/tightness down the outside of my left knee.
Rarely develops into pain but want it gone before I dive back in, this time with a renewed focus on sustainability, so back to the gym and working on mobility.
Goal: be able to get around long runs (up to 20km) in the Peak District
