Knee pain, also called runner's knee, can affect anyone, from beginners whose muscles are not used to running, to experienced runners who push themselves hard
Listen to your body. Do not run if you're in pain, and only start running again when you have recovered sufficiently.
To help knee pain when you're at home, try holding ice or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a damp tea towel on the painful area for up to 20 minutes, a few times a day.
If the pain is severe or the knee is swollen, see a GP straight away.
