I started running this year. I was going 5km 3 times a week with a longer run on Saturday morning, but about 4 weeks in my knee got really sore 7km in on a 15km run. I took two weeks off and then ran once a week for a couple of weeks. Just yesterday I ran another 5km and my knee was hurting by the end. I'm worried that might be it for me and running. I think I'll take Devil's advice, though, and see a doctor for a knee brace. I've really enjoyed my longer runs, so I really hope this isn't the end for me.
I just got a water bottle and belt for father's day, and tried it on my run. I found it bounced around a little too much. Do you just get used to it? Or did I get something cheap and there are better options out there?
