Holy crap! Just like that!? Terrible and terrifying. Get better buddy and please keep us posted.
Full disclosure, I almost put that stupid meme up after that last sentence. Prayers.

Geez man, that's scary. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

I don’t think the issue is whether or not I can do it. The issue for me would be general fatigue and over training during race season. I would certainly consider it on the off season but it’s not worth the risk of sacrificing my speed to overuse. Right now I’m pretty primed to put in some very quick times. I really do appreciate the insight.
That makes sense. I wouldn't add anything if you are well into your training cycle.

I've never had any IT band issues myself, but here is a great resource.

Damn that’s terrible. Hope everything turns out ok.
Wishing you a full recovery.

I had an issue with the IT band on my left leg about 6 years ago when I first started running. It started as a dull ache on the lateral aspect of my knee that progressed to somewhat debilitating. I ignored it for a month or two until it got the the point that I could hardly walk on it. It took about 6 months before I was able to comfortably lightly jog.
During that 6 months, I rested it, went to physical therapy, tried steroid injection, and ultimately had a PRP injection. it was 6 weeks after the PRP where I felt I could jog again.

having gone through this same issue a few years ago, my advice is to stop running immediately and take time to rest it.

frick man. Hoping the best for you. Scary shite.

How? you are in better shape than 99.9% of Americans. This scares me.

Damn it...none of these IT band stories are comforting 
ETA: for those of you that dealt with it, did you ever have noticeable swelling? I think it’s my IT band, but not positive. I feel the dull pain most in the very upper right quadrant of my right calf muscle soreness everything else feels okay. I normally start to feel the tightening up by mile 3 of my runs, but I can run through it no problem. Just a dull pain and the feel like I’m dragging/shuffling my right leg more than my left.

I hat IT band issues about this time last year. The solution for me was a simple correction to my cross-over gait. While this isn't the solution for everyone, worth a visit. Anyone feel free to discredit me, but I'm pretty sure most IT band discomfort stem from some underlying issues with running form.

Thanks.
It’s weird bc I don’t feel like I’ve changed anything. I was having hip flexor issues a couple weeks ago, but now that has subsided and my knee/calf is bugging me. I did some light squats and deadlifts two weeks ago, only other change has been shoes but I doubt that’s the issue. Seems like such an acute injury, not 100% convinced it’s IT, but signs point toward it as of now.

I spoke a short time ago with Roots via text. He wanted you all to know he's in good spirits and appreciates the kind words. He also confirmed he was wearing a shirt at the time of the incident, managed to stop his watch on his own, thus preserving his run pace, and said without a doubt that I am faster than him at the moment.

The pain associated with IT band usually does feel quite acute. Almost feels as if you're getting jabbed with an ice pick. Some people saying that rolling the outside of your quad helps strengthens the tendon, reducing the chance of more issues down the road. When I did figure out it was my gait and changed my running form, the pain went away almost instantly.

Interesting. I’d only get sharp pain when going up stairs about 30 minutes to an hour after my run. No sharp pain while running. Either way I’m going to try rolling my TFL, work on a gait change (I know I cross over) and do some hip/glute strengthening. Hopefully that’ll work.

Very sorry to hear this, man. Sounds like you're in good hands. Get well soon!

1. Thanks for teaching about IT band/ cross-over. Although not an issue , it gives me something to focus on during easier runs.
2. For the second day in a row I just completely lost all energy on my run. Looking at my Garmin data , I have run my top 11 fastest miles this year in September. I think the increase in intensity is getting me. I'll email the Higdon on-demand group and see what they advise. I can always drop my "bonus" days if it gets too much and I run those miles relatively hard for me (7:50 -8:10)

Please rate my half marathon training program leading up to my race in December:
RUNNING
Week - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Saturday
1 - 2 - 6 - 2 - 8
2 - 2 - 6.5 - 2 - 8.5
3 - 3 - 2 - 0 - 9.32(15K)
4 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 10
5 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 10.5
6 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 11
7 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 11.5
8 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 12
9 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 12.5
10 - 3 - 2 - 0 - 13.1 (race)
Goal pace is 9:09/mile, 2:00:00 overall. I’ve been running a ton lately (7 miles last Saturday) and have ran a single mile above pace.
DAILY CALISTHENICS (Monday - Friday)
Week 1, 150 pushups, 36 chin-ups
Weeks 2 - 4, 180 pushups, 40 chin-ups
Weeks 5 - 7, 210 pushups, 44 chin-ups
Weeks 8 - 10, 245 pushups, 48 chin-ups
WEIGHTS (Monday and Wednesday, my light running days)
Bench, 3x5
Military Press, 3x5
Squats, 3x10
Deadlift, 3x10
Simple, linear progression. Add weight when I can. I am gonna cut the leg presses. Squatting has to be better for you. I’ve been benching and military pressing on the same day for about four weeks. My shoulders aren’t worn out yet haha
I’m also on a (mostly) low carb diet. I eat whatever I want on the weekends.

I haven't tried linear training, but would be interested to see how it works out.
If possible, I'd either aim to increase the Wednesday runs to 3 miles or incorporate speed/hill repeat workouts between week 4 and 8.
I also found it helpful to run over the half marathon distance on one of my long runs. This might not be for everyone, but since I had never run more than 8 miles before training I learned a lot about pacing, hydration, and mental focus by doing so.
