Fucking Iliotibial band.

Ahh a runners curse. Too much pounding brother. Remember gliiiide!

Forgive my ignorance, but is the iliotibial band on the front or the back of the leg. I'm building back up after my injuries and I'm fairly convinced a lot of it is that I picked the wrong shoes. Don't push too hard, it just slows the process. Cheers.
