Since the IT band was feeling better today, I couldn't resist hopping on the trainer for another workout. Probably not the greatest idea (as I ultimately found out), but I suppose I'd rather learn the lesson sooner rather than later.
This workout was a total of nine intervals around ~90% FTP. In order to squeeze that many intervals in, they had to be relatively short (4 minutes), and with short recovery in between (2 minutes). During the first recovery (which was longer @ 5 minutes), I threw in two minutes of ILT for each leg. I think one of the objectives of this workout was to start getting used to short recovery times in between intervals.
About 1/3 of the way in, I did start to feel the IT band rubbing again, so at this point I've decided to cut out doubling up on run and bike sessions in a single day. A day is either a run or a bike.
