Quite new to running. Was doing 10-12 miles a week happily (over 2 or 3 sessions), now having huge problems with my knees. Not really agonising pain but definately very uncomfy in and around the kneecaps. Tried to run Mon and it was so miserable that I ended up walking.
Can feel it all the time, they sort of squeak and creak inside and I find I'm even walking a bit funny.
Have had a look on google etc....some people think stretching and strengthening everything around it helps but some say it can make things worse?
Would like to know if anyone has a similar thing, and if so, could you reccomend any exercises? How you dealt with it etc...?
It's really upsetting me not being able to run. I guess I'm best off leaving it instead or trying to 'run through it'?! Any ideas on alternative exercise that I could do instead?
Also, would like to hear what more expereinced runners think before I start getting my purse out and forking out for things that may not be needed - physio, sports massagee etc...
Thanks
