So I do not appear to be getting much better, regarding the ITB injury.
I went to support my running club, Victory Athletics, as they set off for their charity relay race around Hayling Island on Sunday morning and was lucky enough to be able to spend a little bit of time with one of our coaches, Colin. He suggested trying something different as a training schedule to try. I told him I had managed another weekly 5k on the treadmill and he pointed out that the treadmill won't help the injury as it is a constant in every way and I need to build up all the muscle groups.
The new training schedule looks like this:
A daily 10 minute run, all outdoors, preferably on grass, but if not possible then road will have to do.
Complete this every day for 7 days.
If there are no issues, increase this to 15 minutes every day and so on and so on until I am up to 25 minutes a day and then decrease to 2/3 a week.
This will build me back up to my previous level of training quite sensibly and steadily.
I shall let you know how it goes with a regualr weekly training update!
