I have been training for the past 3 months for a half in early march (my first)<br><br>
Got my mileage up to 30 for two weeks in a row.....had been slowly increasing from a base of 15 about 3 months ago.<br><br>
My knee hurts....it is runners knee, so I am taking a few days off.<br><br>
What should my strategy be for the next 3 weeks.....I have gotten two 13 mile runs in....so I know I can do the distance, but that was pre-knee pain.<br><br>
I am thinking I should not run until the pain is gone, then just do one more long run of 10....and keep the rest at 5 to 7.

Give us a little more detail on your knee pain? Side of knee? Constant pain? Sore when you start and gets worse as you run? Dull pain? Sharp stabbing pain?

I self diagnosed that it is "runners knee" from the Cool Running website which details the symptoms, shows a test you can do.<br><br>
My knee was fine until I added the mileage....I think I added too much too fast.<br>
It feels better already since I skipped a few runs.
