I've been running 3 miles every day to prepare myself for LEO Academy.
Turns out that last week, a couple weeks before Academy, I just got an over-use knee injury that takes months to heal.
I believe it to be Iliotibial Band Syndrome.

Right side of my right knee. It only hurts after running 1 mile. I can continue to run on the pain, which the websites suggest that I do not do, to 2 miles. After 2 miles, I begin to slow down and limp more.
To help this, I have been icing my knee and taking Advil (ibuprofen) as an anti-inflammatory before I run.
Be honest with me. Would the academy that you went to work with you on this? Or would you be separated? Would it be okay for me to slow down on running activities, and just when I'm being timed go all out?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
