Blah. I think I may be injured from running.
It all started after doing one of my fave races. The Famous Grouse fell race. The finish is down a track, just the right gradient to full on bomb it down, which I did. Slapping my feet down to gain an extra place. After that my leg problems started. Probably didn't help doing another fell race the week after.

After various consultations / chatting to medical people i know / looking stuff up on t'internet I think I've figured out what's up with my left leg.
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) with a bit of bursitis.
These sum it all up pretty well:

I did cut my mileage down from about 50 miles a week to 20ish and my hip / leg pain pretty much went. But after doing a Park Run yesterday in Wythenshawe it's become a little painful again.

My plan is to stretch & use my foam roller for self massage of the area, but keep on running & keeping the mileage low. Also, use the gym to cross train, using the rower and stuff like that.
Stupid fecking leg.
