I’ve been consistently running since January, and lately my IT band has been pretty painful. It mainly hurts not during my runs, but when I’m walking in my day-to-day, especially going up or down stairs. But during runs at the start it hurts and then it feels better when I hit my stride. I have my first 10k in under a month and I’m still working up to the distance (can comfortably do 7k atm) so I don’t want to stop running. Does anyone have advice for what I can do?
