Knees give out on elliptical

This is a rather recent thing. I can run/jog half marathons with no problems, but lately about 15-20 mins into an elliptical workout both of my knees will "give way" or give out. Besides messing up my rhythm, it kinda hurts! I haven't changed my form on the elliptical, and the fact that it's both knees makes me think it's not a knee issue per se.
Should I up the resistance? Lower it? I want to keep using the Elliptical for cross training...

You may want to take a break from the machine. Also, if you're not ready, do all those stretches that runners do before getting on it.
Hope you feel better soon!0 -
What is the resitance you are using? My guess is that you may have it set to harshly for your knees.0
