More physio. This time, the physio diagnosed weak "bum" and thighs to go with my weak ankles. Reckons I've got hamstrings "like rocks". I don't know if that is a good thing.
I'm doing the foam roller on the ITB, lots of calf and hamstring stretches, more ankle lifts, and some short lunges. She reckons I lack control, which combined with the tight calves and hamstrings, is the cause of the IT band problems.
She's saying no running, but both the physio and the PT at work reckon that's a bad idea. As you can imagine, theirs is the message I prefer. Did 9 miles in, 7 miles home on Friday with no ankle pain and only a mildly tweaky left knee. Trying to follow some sort of plan for the 50km in July, albeit skipping some short runs, and doing the long run and the tired legs run on the same day.
