Two days a week of cycling might fix it with regard to "tracking". I forgot what the name of the muscle is that cycling best develops, vastus something or other. You can work on it with weights too. Also if its the patella, keep quads stretched really good. That will take some pull off the knee cap. This is not a hamstring thing.
Probably the Vastus medialis.

I'm fine walking barefoot. But anytime I try to walk a good pack, the landing on my heels jars my knee and makes it flare up again. I'd love to know if this is simply a matter of tracking, and what exercises to do to be able to run again.
