I know, but the muscle and fascia have connections to other muscles, and these can become tight as a result of a tight IT band (or tighten the IT band themselves).
I always used to get my ITB pain under the knee, top of hte shin muscle, which is why it went undiagnosed for so long (that and crap physios)
Actually, there's a lovely hill near Avimore with a cafe within spitting distance of the top. And a monorail running to the restaurant. A pat on the back when I summitted that bugger, and a look of horror as 30 5 year olds ran past me on a school trip...
Pah. You want to get your arse up An Teallach. I can act as guide if you're interested. Less 'Touching the void' and more 'Touching the Cloth'. That was a bit grim in winter.
That's the one Haile - the majority consider it to be the most stunning mountain in Scotland, and I have to say that I agree with the majority. Haven't done the 'scramblers' route over the pinnacles, was planning on doing it this summer, but my mate's become a bit busy, so I'll have to leave it to next time.
Mmmmm, feet. All my blisters have now hardened into callouses. The best thing I ever did for my tootsies was wearing boots every day since age 10. They're not pretty, but they're fairly indestructible.
How is everyone else doing with recovery? I've been taking it really easy ( out of 7 days rest), yet I was riding down to the shops for ice cream yesterday, and my legs were fecked. Do I need to get out and train again to restore some of the feeling into them?
