IT-band pain

A week ago, I got some pain in the outside of my right knee after a 3-hour ride. I increased the volume during the last week up to normal hours and most of them were done out on the roads. A typical overload. I tried to ride again on Saturday, but I had more or less pain all the way and after two hours it hurts so bad, I couldn’t turn the pedals any longer. I took Sunday completely off the bike and the knee felt good again. Since I have had this pain before, and it has disappeared quickly I didn’t want to give it to much time, so I did a short easy ride on Monday. I could sense something and felt some discomfort the last 15 minutes. Way better than Saturday but not good. The same feelings have kept going on through Tuesday - Thursday with some pain so I am now taking 3 days off the bike and calling this a rest week. I was supposed to increase training load and volume this week, so this was a big setback for my pre-season progress. I have made some minor changes to saddle position
