Knee pressure

Good morning all,

A little background. I am a fairly large individual 6'3" about 218 lbs and have been running for
about a year and a half.

Up to about 20 miles per week. Basically trying to get into shape again. LSD pace about 9:30

About 6 months ago I started experiencing pressure on the front and inside of my knees when running.
There is no pain just pressure feels like there is "air" inside. This usually subsides after about
12 hours, and then will begin after I start running the next day.

Warming up and stretching do not seem to make a difference, nor does icing/heating after running.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

NB 764

Only got about 150 miles on them.

thank you, if not the case still a good excuse to go and buy new shoes. What are your
preferences. Ascis?

I appreciate your feedback

Bill, you are mellowing a little. You forgot your rant about how folks should avoid Nike.

Is this the Good Bill?
