Just wondering if any of you suffer from a similar problem?
I ran my last Oly Distance Tri last Sept., and experienced a dull ache on the outside of my right knee with about 5km left to go on the bike. Went through transition and the knee felt OK until about 3km into the run. The dull ache started to come back, and got progresssively worse. By the end of the run I was in alot of pain....but finished. :) The knee was sore for about a week. But....ever since then I cannot run more than 1/2hr or bike more than an hour berfore I feel the pain coming back. I saw a Doc in December about this. X-rays came back negative for any structural damage, and diagnosed it as a tight IT band. I have been stretching my IT band nearly every day since then, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better.
This is getting really frustrating.....
