Despite all my efforts (stretching before and after the runs, 5 minutes of brisk walk before the run etc.), the knee pain is back. It has been 15 days since I started running, and I felt the pain for the first time on Day 13th. I thought it could be because I overdid myself on Day 12 (the 2 mile continues in Lalbagh), but I guess not.
I searched about the knee pain on the net and i guess it is called Jogger’s Knee. For me there are two solutions
- Buy shoes which have more cushion than the shoes that I have.
- Stop running on hard surfaces, and find a park nearby.
OR both.
Tomorrow I might not be able to run (not because of the pain, but because I would be busy most of the day). I would be happy if I can complete 2 miles in Lalbagh this Sunday.
I ran for 10 minutes today and walked for about 30 minutes.

Its not just about the cushion, it also depends on pronation of the feet and people recommend that one should buy the right running shoes which has the right pronation (with a cusioning in the shape of an arch) suiting your feet. I started running few days back and before that I went to buy a running shoes and the store guy (who runs for his highschool) gave me all the gyaan.
