Firestarter May 2008 3:20pm, 3 May 2008 337 posts	Quote Pin Firestarter Just take it easy Barky.....ITB often happens - so I'm reliably informed - because you've done one of a number of things, Upped your mileage a lot, upped the number of hills you run, footwear that's "past it" etc etc. At least that's what I was told. A trip to the Fizz should get it sorted.........I'm having to do the same thing.
Hanneke May 2008 3:21pm, 3 May 2008 33,462 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke My initial ITB problems were cause by always running on the same side of narrow country lanes... so I was always running on the same camber. I now don't run on the road anymore, so don't have that problem, but when I do, especially for longer runs, I change the side of the road I am running on regularly... This is especially essentila for long runs!
