Knees give out on elliptical

20carrots

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!

What is the resitance you are using? My guess is that you may have it set to harshly for your knees.
