What shoes do you run in? How long have you had your shoes?

i just have plan runners, nothing special. i think i got them around june so they werent that much broken into because i havent used them much.

I used to have pain in my knee when I ran. I bought the reebok zigtec shoes and never had a problem since! Shoes are a huge helper!

really? hmm ill have to invest in some proper running shoes, ive tried knee wraps, knee braces and nothings worked ftw

try some doctor scholles shoe inserts. The sport one works wonders, really.

Try running on grass too for a while. Reduce the impact as much as possible.

And last but not least. Change your running form. It's a bit hard for me to explain. Try to land on the start of the ball of your foot. Right after the arch, it turns into the ball. Try to imagine a line and land on it, so your foot is almost flat when landing but still at a slight angle for that springy feeling.

Maybe check this out too if what I said is too confusing. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/...3951-0,00.html

I think the best thing you can do is go to your local running store and they will put you on a threadmill and examine your form. They can tell you what proper sneakers you can try.
