i wish i was feeling so confident, my first HIM is steelhead on Aug 4, my long run schedule looked pretty bang on with yours (last weekend was 105min), my goals were sub 6 on a good day or just to finish, but with 7 weeks to go my IT band has out of the blue started to give me a lot of problems.

I rested solidly for a week (biked and swam more instead), lots of RICE and then ran last night for 3 miles at a really easy pace. I could feel my knee, but nothing crazy. Then attempted to run the same 3 miles, same pace, fully stretched this morning and my IT band just said NO

Back to square one i guess
