I generally run 25-30 miles per wk. I am slowly increasing my longest run and am now up to 9 miles. Last night I ran 10 miles and apart from usual tightness in the last couple of miles I felt really good. Steady pace at 8:45 per mile.
This morning my knees are really sore. I am struggling to tackle the stairs. My knee caps are tender to touch especially round the edge. Any idea what I am suffering from and what advice could you give.
Thanks
Steve.

Do some swimming if your desperate for exercise.
Hope it sorts itself out. If not after a week, go to a good sports physio.
Good luck!

I really want to be fit for a 10k next weekend. I will take the advice and lay off. Today, I could not have run if my life depended on it. The stairs have been a challenge enough today.
I will look at the article, Thanks!

i've been taking a couple of days off, i raced on wednesday there and i took today and yesterday off, the problem gets better with time, but ibuprofen relieves the pain and reduces the swelling.
you can do straight leg excercises................... if you can find out what the hell they are, this strengthens and promotes healing.
it's probably runners knee if i feels like a bruised kneecap, and then feels more like a sore kneecap later in your run.
