You could use bands for resistance while travelling snd they take little room

We rode 32km on the trail bike this morning, some good technical trails (both uphill and downhills) and sublime single track next to a river. Unfortunately though, one of the riders took a nasty tumble on a technical downhill and in all likelihood cracked a rib or two, so our ride was cut short.

I ran my first half-marathon, a trail race, this morning. It was fun and instructive. I need to hydrate better for certain. A tight IT band I've been struggling with for several weeks showed up around mile three and naggged me for the rest of the run.

Well done!

The only thing that eliminates a dodgy ITB is stretching. There are quite a few good stretches that should help reduce the pain.

Unfortunately I don't think bands will compare with heavy deadlifts. Don't want to spend the next month getting backto where I was again like last holiday

Right, but is an option to keep the strength up

Wrapped up running season with a relay in Canmore, Grizzly Ultra Canmore Marathon & Relay . Was snowy and muddy, but some great single track and views when the fog would break.

Try rolling the glute med, that helped me a fair bit. In addition to the stretching.
