Running Diary 7th July 2024. 30km Long Run. The struggle is real - IT Band issues flaring up.

This was my second weekend of running 30km, my plan is to keep at this distance at least until the end of August. I will then think about adding in a recovery run the day after.
Last weekend's run was tough, but this weekend's was tougher. Pace was much slower and there were quite a few walking breaks towards the end; my right hip was quite sore from what I assume is IT band related issues.
Never mind, Rome wasn't built in a day!
I just need to focus on performance month-on-month, not run-on-run.
