Hello - I'm new to his site and to running so I'm hoping to get some advice from all you experienced runners out there.
I started running a couple of months ago with usually a couple of runs per week of between 3.5 and 5.5 miles. All has been going fine and I've got over the initial problems with lack of fitness and muscular soreness. I invested in a pair of running shoes after the first couple of runs which feel much more comfortable than the old squash shoes I began with. Really enjoying it!
I have 2 main routes, the longer run being up hill and down dale mainly on roads and the shorter run being a long gentle downward slope along an old railway line trail followed by a short up hill stretch through town. Both circular routes.
In the last couple of weeks I've been experiencing some pain afterwards in my right knee. I notice it after the shorter route. It is quite localised on the outside of my knee and causes me particular problems for the 12 hours or so after the run. Getting up and down stairs is a particular problem - I work in an office which is full of stairs. I run at lunch time and generally the pain has gone by the next day.
Any ideas or suggestions?
