I got my new shoes yesterday, which have really helped with my IT band issue. Its funny, I had a similar problem with my IT band relating to footwear around this time last year. I ventured to the Georgetown Prep track this morning to try and get in some quicker stuff. I've registered for a race Saturday and would ideally like to run it (and PR), so I needed to get something quick in to wake up my legs, but also see how my IT band would react to faster running.
I did 4 x 200 (100j), 3 x 250 (150j), 1000 (200j), 4 x 200 (100j). Very short, but meant to introduce some speed as well as attempt at least one of the longer intervals I had originally planned for today. The workout went well, I ran in very hot weather so I was pretty wiped by the end. I negative split the 1000 in 3:00 (73, 72, 35) and although it was tough, it felt a lot more comfortable than I thought it would. The IT band felt a lot better today--and I think some faster running helped loosen it up.
