Hi there, I was training for a marathon but developed a problem with my IT band once i got up to about 18 miles which meant i couldnt compete so ive deferred my entry til next year but am keen to keep running to maintain my fitmess and not lose the benfits of the training that i had done however my IT band is still sore when i run. It's not acute pain just a dull background pain which stops as soon as i stop running, although it does linger the day after. Should i rest up completely for a while or will it recover whilst i run short distances (5-10k) albeit fairly regularly (3-4) times a week?
