I had been training for a half marathon... about 4 weeks out from it, I started to develop knee pain during my runs (only during my runs). I did a couple 5Ks and experienced the pain. I rested it a bit and tried to do a run a week out from my half, got pain after less than 2 miles... Went to doctor and diagnosed with the above. I am having trouble finding a sports medicine doctor that is willing to help a runner in my area... basically did not offer me much, take Aleve, rest... I did attempt my half marathon but walked most of it (I know stupid but I had spent the money...) Anyway, I am dealing with it now. Do not plan on running for at least a month, maybe longer... Any advice on cross training, exercises to strengthen, etc...
Of note, I did not up my mileage quickly. I took at least 14/15 weeks to do a 12 week program working myself up to 11 miles with absolutely no issues. I had fallen on my knee and that is when the pain started with running, the very next day...
