I’ve had a similar experience. I ran the KC half marathon this year and felt great. Signed up for the Garmin half and have been running 10+ on Sundays. Got the same symptoms you’re describing right around Thanksgiving. Tried to power through but has seemed to make it worse. Dr. Google tells me it’s an illiotibial (IT) band issue. I’m wearing a brace while doing elliptical and zero runner, but getting frustrated not being on the road during this great winter weather. Not to mention this is affecting my training regimen.

Have you tried some yoga stretching? Years ago, I friend showed me one that helped with my IT band issues, but have no clue how to describe that twister type pose on a keyboard lol. I checked Dr. Google and didn't see that particular pose, but there's several others that are supposed to help.

I've been watching some Yoga videos, especially the ones where they put their legs behind their head. It gets my heart pumping and all i have to do is sit there.
