Eta: Try stretching out your IT band. Also google runners knee.

my B.
pretty sharp pain, especially going up stairs. Knee feels sore when i start each jog but once i really get going it feels normal i guess.

Do you stretch or foam roll? Do some IT band stretching and start rolling your legs out!

If on the outside of your knee, it could be I-T band issues. I've been struggling with that for a while now. Sounds like similar issues that I have. I found stretching and foam roller have helped quite a bit.

yeah, I stretch every time. I have these New Balance tennis shoes that i got back in December that have taken a beating since.
that probably isn't helping anything.

Are you actually running multiple times a day? Or did you mean to say you run every couple days?
If you're running multiple times in a day, the pain is probably because you're running too much. Run less, let your body rest.

yep, left knee on the side of it.

If you run "a couple times per day" on the same shoes since ~ January, I think you know where you should start...

Outside of knee cap? IT band. I have dealt with the same and I know it hurts like hell. Stretch out that hip man. Work with a foam roller (PVC pipe if you can bear it) as much as possible.
This is a good stretch

i've never really ran much until this year. I've usually just lifted weights but wanted to start more cardio.
i probably haven't run anywhere close to this much since high school football during hell week?
I don't know.

Tendinitis is your issue. Just stretch, rest and NSAIDs. Should be ok.

Much obliged 
yeah, i've mainly just been doing the runners stretch and stretching my quads too.

I'm dealing with patella tendon issues and some foot pain......fricking sucks. Marathon training starts in a few weeks.
Posted on 6/8/15 at 8:52 pm to LooseCannon22282
I agree with people stretching, I have also found that jogging irritated my knee, and found that I was taking shorter strides. Military folks know doing formation runs could lead to some sore knees for not doing a whole lot. Perhaps you are taking short strides, and could try out different stride lengths.

i did a race awhile back called the Tunnel Vision race in Mobile but it was only a 5K Run. You had to go through the old tunnel in downtown and the race finished on the Causeway out by this restaurant called Felix Fish Camp.
i couldn't see myself doing a marathon even though i'm pretty wound up most of the time.

So you went from not really running much to 40ish miles a week? That is what caused your problem and the IT band (what it sounds like) is just a symptom. You probably have form issues, the wrong shoes, and most likely some muscle imbalance (if you've been doing a lot of lifting).
Stretching, rolling and cutting back your volume will help your knee. However, you need to build up your volume slowly over a long period of time, get some proper running shoes, and have someone check your form. Good luck

another thing is that the sidewalks i use are so poorly run down. they literally look like shite, especially on a busy street called Dauphin St. Looks like somebody took a sledgehammer to several areas on the course I run. So I'm usually trying to watch my step in certain areas.
i use some of the back streets too and can usually stay on them longer especially in the early morning when there isn't as much traffic.
