I have ITB in the hip :(

I have ITB in the hip and it sucks.

i did 20 miles in the week after the marathon, with some hip pain.

in the second week i did 25 miles (the last 10 miler was cut short at 5 miles because it was painful and obviously not just a normal niggle).

I am getting physio and using RICE to deal with it, but anything over 20 minutes running at the moment it starts to stiffen up and is not right.

i know i have posture/core strength/pelvis imbalance issues and am going to see a good PT instructor to put together a programme for me to improve this to hoepfully get rid of the issues that are exacerbating the ITB.

i am really keen to MDS in 2015 (a 40th birthday present for myself), and whilst this is 4 years away I don't want to get overuse injuries by rushing things so will aim (hip permitting) for another marathon in 2011, or a couple of autumn halfs, a marathon in spring 2012 and my first ultra later in the year. 2012 will see 50-80k ultra's and maybe a 3 day event. I want to build milage gradually and sutainably as i love to run, and don't want regular injuries.
