7 easy on the Urb. My right knee started acting up again. Still no pain, just the strange twinge/friction feelings. And swelling. I'm very confused.

What kind of strength training are you doing for your quads right now? Sore knees are often a sign of weak or tired quads. Also, how many miles on the shoes, are they the right shoes, what kind of surfaces are you running on.

My usual strategy with knee pain is to look at all of these. Then, as long as the knees aren't getting worse I keep running. If they aren't getting worse they will eventually get better.

Hey thanks for the tips. This is all centered around IT band tightness, so I've been doing a lot of exercises around that area. I'm just counting on the consistency paying off.

Ah, ITBS. Better get on the foam roller!
