Subject: Knee pain help!!?? I run about 20 mpw avg. and train for multi-sport. I have noticed that when I run more than about 8 miles one knee hurts just below (inside ) the patella. It's mostly bearable but does get very aggravating sometimes. I haven't ran a race longer than a half-mary and want to start marathon training. I'm worried that it will be too big of a problem once I start pushing beyond 10-12 mile training runs. I ran 14 miles 3 days ago through a lot of pain and it's bothered me today still on a 6 miler. It doesn't bother me on the bike or swim unless it's sore from a long run the day before. It's not ITBS (I get that too sometimes but know that's overuse on bike ) it's more on the front of the knee under the cap. Is this common? What can I do?
Please advise...thanks, Rich
