Good news is that my IT Band is still doing ok :) Will keep rolling it, but still at the same progress I was at previously.

Ran 6k!! Progress!!! Tried to keep it EASY so I was at a 5.5 mph or lower the whole run. All good!
Loving the PT!!
Hey if you go snooping through Slowtwitch you'll find repeated mention of Barry P's running plan. Basically, lots of slow running with the time/distance based on the big run of the week. Pretty simple and meant to keep the body in one piece.

First run attempt in over a week.
Ran 5k, no major pain, but felt the tightness build up so I stopped at 3k and 4k to stretch the ITB ( stretched prior to the run after some warm-up exercises )

Turns out I was right about the ITBS but wrong about what was causing it.
The main culprit is apparently my QUADS!! Knotted and tight.
Sure wasn't pleasant!! Got some Triggerpoint, IMS, EMS and a prescription for plenty of stretches and rolling, adding in the quads that I didn't think I needed!

It's been one week and had another session today!!
PT says clinically the quads look about 50% better, and I wasn't cringing when he was doing the lower quads this time!! :D
Now it's the upper quads to concentrate on and I can start jogging in a few days! :D

Yes - Itb tendonitis suck - there so many variables what can cause it. I always advise a few basic things to my runners to do so: have at least 4 pair of shoes and change them session to session, run on 3-4 different surfaces, have a 10-15min strength routine as a warming up before every single run, and there is no day without stretching.
