severe knee ache?

Ive just started running again as ive been off two months with runners knee.My knees are better now and when i had a sports massage she said she cant see anything wrong and told me to try running again.Ive started a very easy run walk programme to slowly get back into running.Today i only ran for 2 minutes walk for two minutes six times my knees were fine running but about an hour after ive got severe knee aches in both my knees.Any one know why?

Hello,

I used to get some pretty bad knee pain while running. I went to a PT and they put me on some exercises (leg lifts & leg curls…see link below). The pain went away and re-surfaced years later. I was told by some friends to replace my shoes more often and lose some weight (some friends, huh?)…it worked, though! I wouldn’t wear running shoes for more than 1 year or 400 miles (whichever comes first). I’d also try some more foregiving running surfaces like asphalt or trails, vice concrete. Hope that helps. Good luck!
