Still running 6-7 days a week but most runs involve some mild pain or faituge in the knee area. Do a lot of trail running and steep uphills hurt my knees as well as downhills. what's strange is that I can start out feeling bad and hurting but after 7 miles in I'm feeling good and not feeling any pain. actually, the first 3 mile of my runs are like this.
Anyone have similar experiences or have altered their training to strengthen their shot knees?
Buy a foam roller and roll your thighs.
How do you hang up your knees?
I stopped stretching my quads and I have no knee pain at all. My left knee use to only bother me running down hill on pavement.
Also losing weight could help.
I was probably over stretching my quads but nonetheless soon as I stopped so did my knee pain

Who stretches anymore?
Overstretching your quads? you mean you hyperextended your quad muscle? Maybe you are too flexible.
If the guy has knee pain it could be tight, knotted, shitty hamstrings with a muscle balance due to weak quadriceps. Or if that isn't true it should be noted that running does not RUINING your knees. It's just making them hurt. Suck it up!
