First off, I know this topic has been brought up in the past, and there are lots of threads, which I've perused (and also commented on).
I had a real bad bout of ITBs in 2014 that lasted for nearly six months. I saw lots of 'specialists' and did lots of exercises, and eventually it resolved - maybe a combination of everything I did.
For over a year I religiously did hip and glute exercises in hopes that it would keep any ITB issues away. Of course, I began to slack off as things were fine for a while.
Fast forward to yesterday. I did a two hour long run, and there were no issues during the run. An hour or two after the run my IT band began hurting a bit, and it's now somewhat painful even walking. My plan is zero running this week and seeing how things are next week in terms of any pain. I already began some of my old exercises last night - monster walk, clam-shells, hip raises, etc., but know it's not going to help out immediately.
I have Rev3 Quassy in eight weeks and IMLP another seven weeks after that. For others who have had IT band issues, any thoughts?
