ITB Syndrome
July 20, 2009
Apparently, ITBS is what has been plaguing my left thigh for a couple of weeks. I had never had any problems with the ITB whatsoever, so I’ve never stretched it and didn’t consider it when my leg started hurting in a “non-sore muscle” way. Until, that is, the weird feeling started alternating between the thigh and the inside of the knee. Bingo.
Now I’m doing the stretches, but I’m really opposed to backing off of my training plan. I am, however, starting to second-guess my marathon goal, and somehow the half-marathon looks so much more appealing. Is this just a mid-training psychological battle or are the recent injuries a sign of what is to come?
