Training question ??
I'm training for my first Olympic distance Tri in Sept. I can do the distance ok for cycling and swimming, but I'm having trouble with the run due to IT band pain. My question is, should I just continue training with distance and volume in mind, or should I be doing intervals and other types of training ? I have 2 kids and fulltime work so time is an issue. I really just want to finish, but a respectable time would be nice.

Definatly get the ITB checked out, see either a sports physiotherapist or a chiropractor, or a doctor. Check into ART, i got it done to me after a race yesterday, IT feels great, unlike normaly after a race.(ART-Active Release something)

Agreed. Just get in the distance (don't increase more than 10% per week). Keep turning them over and you'll be fine.

I don't know anyone in IA so I am glad you found someone. As far as how long it will take there are a lot of variables. How long has it been damage and how sever the damage is.
