My knees hurt when i run?
Chances are you're suffering from runner's knee. Basically it means that your quad muscles (front part of your thigh) is slightly under developed. What helps is an exercise in the weight room called leg extensions. It's a machine that looks like a chair and you lift the weight with your shins. May hurt at first but it will definitely help with your knee problem. If you don't have a weight room, try doing straight leg raises: Lay on your back. One knee bent, foot on the ground and with your other leg straight, flex your quad and lift the leg. Do 10 reps x2 with each leg. Icing your knees and legs often will help too, you're saying that your tibias and fibias hurt as well. If none of this helps after 2 or 3 weeks, see a sports trainer at school or see your family doctor, it could be a more serious problem.
Why do my knees hurt after I run?
ProblemI suspect your knee pain is because of poor running form. When your foot lands on the surface, it strikes the ground first with heel. In heel strike running form all the force generated by foot strike with ground directly reaches to knee joint and cause the trouble. The Midfoot strike is most safe way to run. Second reason maybe the position of landing. If your foot don't strike the ground just below your body, that is below your center of gravity and your foot lands on the ground too forward of your cg then it may also cause knee pain.SolutionStep 1Take rest till you get completely fit again. Listen to your body when it asks for rest, give it enough rest. This is how it works.Step 2Since you are completely fit now. It is time to hit the ground again. Ask your any friend to make your video while running. Analyze your foot strike. If you find that you are a heel strike runner and/or position of landing is not correct then you have to learn the proper running form.Following are some YouTube video links which can help you to learn correct running technique and I am not owner of these videos. Enjoy learning.Cheers!
Why do my knees hurt after a 10km run?
A2AWith no further details about the pain type etc, then people can’t really give accurate answers.I’m going to hazard a guess based on these assumptions:you’re maleyou’re new(ish) to running (most experienced runners will offer a lot more detail about injuries)10km is close to your longest runthe pain starts towards the end of the run, is a ‘serious’ ache (rather than a sharp, spiking pain) and wears off after an hour or so.I suspect that you’re over-striding to maintain your pace (and possibly push the pace to be as fast as possible) for your 10km. This has the impact of causing your heel to land first and make your leg act as a brake, putting a lot more force through your knee that it’s used to. Over-striding can also cause issues with your overall form (which may be making your shoulders ache as well?).As a general stereotype: inexperienced male runners will go out and push each run as hard as possible. When they get tired, their form gets sloppy and to maintain their pace, they start to overstride.Two things to work on:don’t overstride - increase your cadence (foot turnover) instead, you should aim for about 175–180 steps per minute (it’s really fast!)don’t push every run, take some of them nice and easy. Use these to work on posture and form and still feel like you are achieving something.
My knee hurts when I run...?
I've recentely picked up running, (about a couple weeks) but the last couple of days when I run for more then a block or walk down a flight of stairs or hill my knee hurts, at first it's just a little and I can work through it but then it hurts a lot more. Is there some sort of exercise I can do to strength my knee or wrap that I can wear when I exercise or what should I do?

Why do my knees hurt while running?
Your knees were never meant to be "shock absorbers." When I used to run, I was a sprinter because my knees couldn't handle distance. Many beginning runners think that running on a cement sidewalk is no different from running on an asphalt road. Not so. Asphalt has some “give,” while cement has none. Your sneakers MUST be new and taylored to your needs. Go to your local store or chain and discuss in detail what your needs are. Don't just accept some generic sneaker because it is the latest fashion. Get what you need! Experienced runners know that it is better to catch an injury early, identify the cause, and solve the problem then to keep running with chronic pain. There’s no point in being stubborn and allowing something to get worse and sidetrack your training. The majority of running injuries are easy to correct and you can prevent them from recurring. Don’t be afraid to go to a podiatrist, orthopedist, or other sports medicine professional. The right person will not say, “Just stop running.” He or she will help you keep running, or modify your workouts until you heal. If your knees, hips, or back are the problem, try an orthopedist or a sports medicine specialist. Some people have great success with chiropractors for help in managing minor knee. (Although, personally, I'm not big on chiropractors.) I know the source I mention below says "beginners" but it has so much information for the established runner. I have found it extremely useful. Good Luck & Take Care!!
Why do my knees hurt after running?
- While running put more pressure on your toes than on your heels. By doing this you take a lot of pressure of your knees. Your ankle works a bit like a spring. To strengthen muscles here, practice rope skipping for a while. - Try to put some variation in your running. Put in a day of rest. So you can recover faster. Don't overdo your running when you are hurt. After some time: begin with some interval training. It doesn't last as long, but you'll improve nevertheless. When running maybe even adopt a fartlek technique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek - Buy decent shoes. In some sports stores you can ask for a measurement, so they can determine the perfect shoe for you. - You can do some exercises to strengthen the muscles in your legs: eg. squats - You are a pretty big dude for a 15y old. Go ask your doctor for advice when it keeps hurting.
My knees hurt when I run. Should I stop running?
As with most things that involve pain in your body, it's best to find out what is causing the pain. Since there are many different things that can result in knee pain, the first thing to do is consult with your primary care physician (PCP). He may find a structural problem or imbalance that can be corrected.When I first started running, I developed knee pain. I got plenty of advice but it was pretty much all useless. It wasn't my running form. It wasn't my shoes. I couldn't just run through it. My PCP gave me a brace which helped some but didn't address the underlying cause(s).For me, it was a combination of things. Flat feet with a weak arch caused small, consistent inward movement my knees leading to some improper rubbing of the patella against cartilage. I also had developed a muscle imbalance amongst my quads also throwing off the movement of the patella. Once I found the problems, the cure followed. Arch supports and exercises to gain proper balance of my quads.Keep in mind that those two problems are common but not necessarily what's happening to you. I can't and no one on here can diagnose what's happening to you. It can't be done on Quora. Get professional help.
Knees hurt while running.?
I am not sure what would cause the knee pain, but here are some potential solutions: 1) Break into running slowly, especially if you are new. You may be trying to do too much too soon. If you've been running a while, I suggest taking a break. It almost sounds like you have a case of runner's knee, but only you can decide for this yourself. 2) Be sure you have good shoes. By this, I mean quality running shoes. Cross trainers don't count. New Balance and Brooks make good shoes. I've been wearing the Brooks Adrenaline and really enjoy them. Any high-end New Balance is also good. 3) Run on soft surfaces. 4) Strengthen your quads (thigh muscles). They are crucial for knee-health. Consider them the shock absorbers for your knees. 5) You may want to try wearing the neoprene knee braces. I never run without them. They are usually $15 a piece, but I have had minimal knee problems since using them. 6) If you are heavy set, you may want to start with walking / swimming before jumping into running. The more weight you have upstairs, the tougher it is going to be on your legs. 7) Check out http://www.coolrunning.com for details on knee injuries. Or even doing a web search for knee injuries running to self-diagnose. 8) Avoid slanted surfaces, running on hills (both incline / decline). Hope that helps.
Running and hurt knees?
I have really good nike women's running shoes, and I had heard that it might possibly be because the arch is not sufficient. Apparently nike is pretty bad about making sufficient arches in their shoes, is this what it most likely it. I can deal with it, I just want to know what I can do to truely fix the problem. Should I put something to help the arch support in the shoe? If so, where should I get it?
