Looking for feedback. I'm doing IMMT (2nd full distance) in a month and have been injured on my IT band. Had to stop running completely for a month and change (40 days) and I've resumed 2 weeks ago at slow pace and mileage.
There are 2 x 2hr runs in my plan before scaling down. I feel I can put a 1:10 to 1:15 on the swim and 6:30 to 6:45 on the bike but the run will be a struggle.
So the question, would you show up undercooked and protect further injury. Say low mileage for the next 4 weeks or would you try to get back the running fitness while trying to protect further injury?
Bonus question, has anyone done this (show up undercooked) and had a decent not super painful marathon?
